Kidney Stone Update

Cole's kidney stone still has not passed. He had a KUB (abdominal xray) at 8am to check for obstruction & an appointment with Dr. Cadoff (Urologist) at noon. Cole's stone is obstructing his kidney, so it will need to be lasered. However, they can't get him in until next Tuesday. That is a long time to wait! The laser should break up the stone into smaller pieces. The bad news is that he will still have to pass the smaller pieces! It is unlikely, but we are hoping Cole's stone passes on it's own, so he doesn't have to wait so long for relief. Cole will see Dr. Cadoff again tomorrow for a pre-op appointment & the laser procedure is scheduled for next Tuesday 4pm at St. Joe's in Phoenix.

My work has been really flexible with me leaving work to drive Cole to his appointments. I am very thankful for this! We'll keep you posted.
