We already know Hunter has kidney stones. We learned more about it today. While it's normal for kids to have kidney stones it is very rare for baby at Hunter's age to have kidney stones. It's so rare in fact that Doctor, who has treated babies for decades, has never seen a baby his age with kidney stones.

I'm kind of confused, because last night Nurse said that they have several babies in the NICU that have kidney stones. Somehow Hunter's case is special. It sounds like Doctor had no idea how to handle this situation with Hunter. He said that he had to try to get in touch with some kidney stone experts. He talked to a doctor down at Riley Hospital and also one of the leading kidney stone doctors in the country in Chicago.

They had to get a special test from the doctor in Chicago that they are going to use for Hunter. Then they should know what caused it, and how to go about keeping it from happening again. Doctor said that they can usually treat it with medication or an adjusted diet. In rare cases it can require surgery, but we're going to try to avoid that.
