I can’t believe it has been a month since I posted last. So much has happened but the biggest news for Rebecca is that she is scheduled for surgery on June 22nd,
When they ran tests while we were at the hospital, they did not find any kind of reflux in here kidney or major blockage. They felt that the amount of fluid an time it took for her kidney to drain was due to either a kink in or a narrow tube from the kidney to the bladder. If it was a kink, it would fix itself with time. If it was a narrow tube, surgery would fix the problem.
At her last ultrasound/specialist follow up, the fluid in her kidneys continues to be there, and it has actually gotten worse. Because of this, they feel it is a narrow tube and have scheduled surgery to remove the narrow portion and reattach the normal size tube. She will go into the hospital for surgery on June 22nd at 8:30 am. Recovery time in the hospital is estimated 2-3 days and our return on the 25th.
I will update my posts when I can.
Another thing is trying to get her walking since before the hospital, she was not crawling properly…she is now pulling her self up to stand assisted. However, her feet are still curling under and her left leg is still really weak. They are addressing it with exercises and looking at other options to come.
She is finally gaining weight though and her last weigh in was 19 lbs, 5.5 oz. This is great progress. God is so good!
Thank you for your continued prayers.
