Isaiah returned to school full-time today. He was very excited! He could not wait to play Zombie tag with his friends out on the playground. When I picked him and his sisters up from school today he began crying (overtired maybe?). He said he wanted his baby sister to be born today and he was upset that she had not. I think I will need to keep him home for a nap earlier rather than later in the week ;) Needless to say, but this kids are excited for this next phase of 2015...a baby sister to kiss and squeeze!
We have to wait until Thursday to hear back from urology as to exactly when we can reschedule Isaiah's stent surgery. It was decided by all that giving it a little more time won't hurt anything. It sounds like the stent will be removed regardless and not replaced unless the contrast-dye study reveals something out of the ordinary, which is not expected. His kidney should seal/heal up even without the stent if it has not already. The lower portion of his kidney that is dying will simply turn into a scar tissue type mass in his body and not cause any trouble at all. Long term, Isaiah will simply need to keep track of his blood pressure and avoid things that are heavily filtered through the kidneys. Otherwise, once the stent is out he can be off the two medications he is currently on and be completely normal again...something he is happy to be returning to.
We remain in awe and thankful for this recovery. We are thankful to all that we have met and who shared their gifts, knowledge and talents with us. We are thankful for the journey God laid out for us and being with us each step of the way.
