I wanted to get this out quick before Judah starts waking up and I get to go snuggle him.
The procedure went quickly and smoothly. Long term good news: there is no visible obstruction and his ureter actually looks good. ("Good" according to his current health stauts. But still good.) Short term bad news: there is no visible obstruction, so we move on to plan B.
The urologist was actually very encouraging about everything, and he feels good about what he saw. However, Jude will come home with a Foley catheter today, wear that for 2 weeks, and then we'll be back here for follow-up blood work and renal ultrasound. There remains a concern that his bladder could be the cause of the extra dilation in his kidney. To be sure, we're taking these next steps. It's also possible that the way Judah's whole system is put together, the comoplexity of it all, is just...that. Complex and unhealthy and not what you normally see. Sooo...in a couple weeks I may actually have more questions than answers, but I continue to trust in the One who formed every single part of Judah, the One Who Sees. He knows the answers, knows what Judah needs, and I believe He'll continue to lead us in decisions as we go along.
But guys. A catheter for 2 weeks? Jesus, take the wheel.
