So, I dont think this madness will ever end. We went back to Dr. Khim today to get the progress on the Lithotripsy from last week and follow up from Friday's ER visit. Good news and Bad news!!!
GOOD NEWS: He had such severe pain on Friday in his left side and he could not even stand so we went to the ER. According to the xray taken today, he PASSED the stone that was in his LEFT kidney. So that one is now gone and we no longer have to worry about it.
BAD NEWS: The one that was in his right Ureter which is the one they done the Lithotripsy on is still there. It is still lodged in the exact same spot that it has been in for 4 weeks now. The Lithotripsy did help somewhat due to it knocking fragments off the stone and making it smaller however even though it is smaller it is still not moving.
We now go in on Friday to have the Ureteroscopy done where they actually go in with the basket to remove it. Depending on the size, they still may have to use lasar and bust it up some before grabbing it. He will also have a stent placed after the procedure for a few days.
We were supposed to go to Gatlinburg on Saturday however I think that may be a no go. Trent is very persistant on still going due to this being the 2nd Gatlinburg trip it may cancel but I just done think it would be very wise to go so far right after the procedure.
Anyways, I reckon that is going on these days but thought I would update everyone.
