To Mott We Go

Sun!!!! Good start for an ultrasound day!

That look when Mom says you can play with the blocks over there. 

I'm sitting in a frog chair and there is a frog on my sticker!

We were 35 minutes early today,  traffic was light and while our preferred parking garage was full, there was a sign in front telling us that before we entered so we had lots of time to spare. However, we checked in anyway and we were in luck, we were called back within minutes.  

Judah, of course,  would have rather played with the blocks. 

But the tech was good and quick and we were on the car before our appt time! We didn't even have to pay for parking because it was less than an hour! (Makes up for that 90 minute drive time a little.) 

Quick as she was,  Judah was still unhappy and reported to me that he was sad. 

But I promised him a so at trader Joe's with some chocolate and he perked up quickly. He happily left his ugly sticker on the board. 

Once we came home,  he helped Dad with on the mudroom cabinets.  

During his bath,  I told him to clean up his toys and looked over to see him literally cleaning his toys. No wonder we go through so much soap.

He tricked me into thinking it was going to be an easy night. 

After 4 good nights,  he's up already at 1030. Sad. 

As for the ultrasound, the good news is that the left side shows improvement. The bad news is that it is still considered severe, and the right side is considered moderate and stable but is slightly worse than previous. 

And there was one mention that Dr Google says points toward kidney disease. Both sides show mildly echogenic renal parenchyma. This is the biggest worry, so I hope it's wrong.  

The ureters are dilated again, and there is mild thickening of the walls in all parts of the urinary tract.  

It could be worse,  but I was hoping for better. We couldn't get into discuss with his urologist for another 6 weeks, so I guess it's a holding pattern unless something concerning comes up.  

Nephrology was supposed to be next week but they had to cancel and haven't rescheduled yet. That should help clarify kidney disease concerns, once they do bloodwork. If you can just go ahead and start praying that the blood draw goes well, I'd be ever so grateful.
