Noah turns 1!

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.




Noah turned a year old and back to the nephrologist we go. We couldn't have celebrated his first year any better.

Nephrologist stated," He's outgrown the hydronephrosis and might have outgrown the reflux".

"WHAT?!"

"Yes, remember I had said there was a slight possibility he could outgrow it?"

My inner monologue," Ummmm, no you actually said he would never outgrow it and thats why I've been freaking out all this time Mr's ma'am !"

"We really can't be 100% sure he's outgrown the reflux unless we do a VCUG, but since there hasn't been any infections, we will avoid putting him through all of that again."

"So, what does this mean? Transplant? Is he ok now?"

"Well, he will need a transplant, but right now he is stable. His kidney still looks pretty bad but he is doing well. I can't really say when he will need it, but he will need one. When you guys first walked in here, I thought he would be on dialysis by now, and he is doing pretty well right now".

.......speechless.....


Yearly check up at his pediatrician.

"So what's going on with Mr. Noah", asks the Dr.

"He's doing GREAT! Nephrologist stated he has outgrown the hydronephrosis and might have a outgrown the reflux".

Drops his pen, stares at me, chuckles quietly." Do you believe her?"

"Ummm, why not?"

"Well, that can only happen if he NEVER has a urinary tract infection."

"Well, he hasn't".
