I never thought the title of this Blog I created a few short months ago would continue to ring so true…..
Monday (10.27.08) I spent at Children’s for Blake’s last surgery. This was a breeze and he did so well! I believe that Blake went in to the OR at 11.00 and we were talking to the Dr. at 11.30. We were ready for baby #2 to arrive at anytime.
Tuesday (10.28.08) Brad caved to the itch that he has been having to get back on a bike. He thought that he would play it safe and instead ride an ATV or what he calls a “retard charriot”. I was sitting in Mercy Anderson’s ER by 8.30 with Brad and his broken collar bone. I don’t think it matters how many wheels it has, my husband will still get hurt! Now we are wanting baby #2 to stay put for a little longer. Brad will not be any help with my little men for a good 6 weeks. So my door is open for all who want to come over and hold babies!
On a better note my dear friends, Heather and Nate, will be bringing home another little BOY in March. We can not wait to meet little Nolan Jude, named after his daddy! Congrats to the Wolff family.
Blake surgery went very well. We were please that it did not take the full 6 hours like the last one! He went in at 9.45 and we were speaking with the Dr. at 12.30. He is back to normal, and it is sooooo hard to get Blake to “take it easy”. Have you ever tried to get a 16 month old not to run, jump, or dive into things???? It is impossible!
Blake was diagnosed with hydronephrosis, it is a condition in which the outflow of urine from the kidney is obstructed, resulting in fluid-filled enlargement. The condition is usually detected by ultrasound, as early as the first trimester of pregnancy. http://www.urologychannel.com/pediatric/antenatalhydro.shtml , Here is a link that tells you more about Blake’s condition. His right kidney was severe and he had surgery at 10 weeks old and his left was moderate, but was slowly getting worse, that is the one we had fixed last week. This link, http://www.medindia.net/animation/kidney_pyeloplasty.asp , shows you how they fixed both of his kidneys.
His next and final surgery will be on October 27th; this is where they will remove the stint. Brad and I are just hoping that baby boy #2 stays put until all of this is over.
