Kidney Update 2

Kayla had her Urology appt on September 4th and we met with Dr Berkman. He confirmed that there was no reflux in her kidneys anymore which was great. He did however find that the kidney ultrasound showed a noticable size difference in her kidneys. When she came in as a newborn her right kidney was larger than her left now her left kidney is larger than her right. He is not sure what to think about this he stated. Due to the fact your kidneys are sopposed to be the same size he is going to continue keeping her as his patient until next year when we will have a third ultrasound to see how the kidneys are growing. I am not too concerned as the doctor stated it could be that the ultrasound tech just did not get a good picture therefore the measurement could be off. Giving a 1 year old an ultrasound on her belly, back and side for 30 minutes you can only imagine she wasn't exactly perfectly still. Dr. Berkman stated that after her next birthday she would be more willing to lie still therefore we will know more at that time. So one more year and we will recheck. Nick and I were kind of disapointed because that was never something we thought of as we were unaware of the size problems from the first ultrasound but happy that she is doing well. I guess Nick and I will just have to hang on wondering for the next year, but time sure flys so I'm sure it will be here in no time =)
