Right now he's all snuggled up in a nuc med scan where they are checking the function level of his kidneys. They want to be sure that the right kidney is still working enough that it can be fixed vs just needing to remove it. Later today they will call us and let us know if his surgery will be to remove the block like we were hoping or if it will be to just take the kidney out. So for now, we wait.
Owen has been a champ though. He had to get another IV as well as a catheter. It was a lot harder now that he squirms and moves, but the nurses were amazing and got everything in as quickly as they could!
He also had an ultrasound of his spine this morning. They were concerned he may have a tethered spinal cord which would have needed surgery as well. Thankfully, his scan came back totally normal!! Such a huge relief!
Here are a couple pictures off my phone of today and I will update about surgery later when I find out what the test showed.
*on the very last picture you can see Owen's kidneys during the nuc med scan. He's actually laying upside down so the big kidney on the left is actually his right one. *
In our prayers
