I really should say, "Are your kidneys gladder?" but that just didn't have the same ring to it ;) Gracie saw her Urologist for her first follow-up since her surgery. We went in for an ultrasound and urine test. The ultrasound was good overall, but showed just a little bit of kidney retention when her bladder was full. This is most likely due to swelling from the surgery and should resolve as the healing process continues. But instead of waiting a full year for her next ultrasound, they want her back in 3 months just to make sure that it does fully resolve. A bummer but not the end of the world. I was assured that this is extremely normal and common after surgery and they are "not concerned". Her urine sample was clean which is always a relief to hear, and Gracie has been eating, playing, and dancing up a storm around here. She has even gained a little weight! She is now a whole 27.5 lbs! Woo hoo! And Ben is 29lbs...... but who's counting? ;)
Gracie was, as ever, a trooper for her appointment so clearly cake pops were in order :) We'll keep you posted!
