Cook's Hospital part 2

Well yesterday I took Nolyn back down for more test. After we checked in they called Nolyn back to the prep room. Here they gave her an IV, which she took like a champ, and was giving a catheter. Of course she cried, but as soon as she wasn't being held down she was laughing, smiling, and talking up a storm. Next we went into a room to do the test. They put her on a table then under a scanner for an hour. They took over 200 pictures to see how both kidneys were functioning. They want to make sure both kidneys are doing there share of work, making sure its 50/50. Hers are working 54/46 which is still in the good range. So our next step is an ultrasound in 3 months, then 3 months after that we run the same test that we did yesterday. So that's all we know as of now. All I know is Nolyn is such a brave girl to go though all that, of course she wont remember any of this, which is good thing.

Doctor News

Well Tuesday Grant and I took Nolyn to her Urologist appointment. Dr Pinto went over her test results and here is what we found out. She could have 1 of 3 things. 1) was reflux, which was ruled out with the test done last month, 2) is a pinch where her kidney and ureter attach, 3) is there is nothing wrong just one kidney is bigger then the other. So on Tuesday we go back to Cook's at 10am to run more test to see if its issue #2 or #3. Then we see Dr Pinto at 2:30 to get the results.

After the Doctors Tuesday we headed to Collinsville to watch Kaila's last basketball game. It was a sad night. Between the girls game and the boys game they honored the seniors and there the parents. So the Senior presented there parents with roses. Well Kaila gave both my parents each a rose and one to me. Since Nolyn's been born her and I have pretty much made all her games. Like I've said before my sisters mean the world to me. I'm lucky to have such wonderful sisters. At the game we also got to see Kellie, my other sister, who we haven't seen in a long time since track season has started and she's gone every weekend. So even though it was a sad night it was a great one as well. So I will keep everyone posted after our appointment Tuesday.
