Visit with the pediatric urologist

We visited the pediatric urologist on Wednesday to take a look at the results of Sean's renal scan, along with his previous tests. The doctor showed us all sorts of cool pictures and graphs of the data that was collected. The doctor did not find a blockage, which is great. He did find that the left kidney is slow to drain - a normal kidney takes up to 12 minutes to drain, and Sean's right kidney took 8 minutes, but the left took 14 minutes.


So, Sean's left kidney remains in the "we should follow this" range, but it's in the lower part of that range. I'm taking Sean back for another ultrasound on his kindeys and bladder in a couple of weeks and the doctor will look at those images to make sure things are staying the same. Fingers crossed!
