"We clipped the ureters on the one side which had the duplicating system [two ureters between the bladder and kidney] and reinserted them in the bladder. On the other side, we found another duplicating system. But, this one didn't connect to the kidney, it was more of a road to nowhere."
Even though he sees hundreds of these cases each year, he said that Presleigh's case was definitely a rarity. Well, regardless of her uniqueness, she is now in recovery and free from vasicoureteral reflux. No more prophylaxis!
We're grateful to God for His constancy and the talent and skills He has afforded doctors so very close to our back yard. There are children here from all over the country, even other countries, and we've got access to top quality medical care 30 minutes away (plus or minus, given the traffic on Georgia-400).
Presleigh's not too delighted about the lingering foley cath or the "boo-boo" that's healing just below her diaper line, but we know it beats the alternative. Thank you, to all who have lifted up prayers on her behalf, the doctors' behalf, and our behalf. Wait, that makes three halves, doesn't it?
Special thanks to our dear friend Tara for coming by to sit with us and pray during the waiting. We love your company and are grateful for your fellowship! Thanks, also, to all the other visitors we know are already planning to come by - pack light, the room is small!
in Christ,
Papa Pina
