Nephrologist, Urologists, and Radiologists Oh My!!!

I swear all that we do now is go to the Dr. I went to the Nephrologist on June 2nd and found out that my right kidney does not work. So when I was in the hospital I was in kidney failure since the other one was blocked by the stone. I am doing fine since my left kidney is now stone free, I just have to do a few test to figure out why I make stone and try to avoid it. Liam had his bladder and kidneys scanned on June 4th and they are doing great!! We did find out through talking with his Urologist that they made his Urethra and there for it is not a "true" Urethra. So, when he is around 4 they will go in and place like a permanent catheter that has a valve on the end. So when he needs to empty his bladder he will just open the valve. I think that will be more convenient for him rather than having to self cath every time as we thought. On June 8th Liam had his back scanned. We found that he has Spina Bifida and will need spinal surgery to repair this. Spinal Bifida is a failure of the vertebraes to close around the spinal cord. We see the Neurologist on July 13th to find out more of what to expect and long term issues from this. I still believe that he will walk, it just might take him a bit to get there. Other than that Liam has turned 5 months old and I can't imagine life without him! He is such a great baby and loves to watch Avery and Linc when they sing to him. All he does is smile and slobber!
