A good checkup



This little boy went back to his pediatric urologist in Little Rock on the 17th. He got a pretty good report. The good news? He doesn't have to go back until April for the same set of tests he had when he was 6 weeks old. They need to be able to compare and see what's the same and what's different.

It was easy when he was 6 weeks old. His kidney funciton test along lasted 60 minutes and he slept through most of that. When he goes back in April, he'll be 1 year old and I have a feeling things will be different....much different.

Dr. R is retiring at the end of the year, so a new ped. urologist will be taking over Ethan's case. Want more good news? This new Dr. does laproscopic surgeries where as Dr R did open surgeries. So, that IS good news! IF Ethan will need to have another surgery in the future.

But for now, he's just keeping on....being a 7 month old baby and doing a good job at it!
