Kidney Update -- Take Two

Update: New Photo
Unfortunately, Caleb is going to have another surgery on Wednesday, April 29th to remove the lower blockage of the ureter where it connects to the bladder. They say this should be an "easier" surgery than the last one but it is still tough to think about the images in our mind of the last surgery. His ureter is measuring about 13 millimeters. (A normal size ureter is about 4-5 millimeters and a megaureter is about 7 millimeters.) Poor Caleb has a "double" megaureter. We feel better prepared for this one because we don't have the fear of the unknown and we have 7 weeks to prepare.

While we were there they weighed him and measured his length. Caleb is a solid 18 pounds and almost 28 inches long.

We have been praying Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Caleb will have quite the story and the scars to show it but ultimately it is God's story He is writing for Caleb's life.
