Urologist

Yesterday Hunter had his first visit with one of his specialists. He saw his urologist regarding the kidney stones they found while he was in the hospital.

We were there about three hours, spent about 5 minutes with the doctor and that was that. Urologist did say that his kidney stones seem to be getting better on their own. When they first found them he had 4 in his left kidney and some small ones in his right. Now his right kidney is clear and he's down to 3 in his left.

It sounds like this isn't as uncommon in preemies as we were originally told. Urologist said that preemies who receive many different medications can develop them but he seems to think they will go away on their own. Hunter will be getting another ultrasound in a little over a month to check the progress of his kidneys.

I'm happy for Hunter! It's good that his stone seem to be taking care of themselves. Kidney stones are no fun.

Love to all,
