It's been a busy month, and this week is a big week in our house. Mitch will have his right kidney removed on Wednesday, December 9th. While we are anxious, we are ready to just have the surgery behind us. My parents fly in tomorrow, and they'll be on hand to be with Henry. We have our pre-op appointment on Tuesday, so we'll learn more then, but we do know we'll be in the hospital on Wednesday night for sure, and, hopefully, if Mitch is doing well, we can go home on Thursday.
Mitch had an appointment with his Nephrologist last week, and it went well. Like she says, he'll be followed closely, but we're hoping for lots of boring Renal visits. His labs came back normal, and his Bicarbonate level was good. On the high side of normal, but still normal, which means the medicine is working. He's on a relatively low dose of Bicitra. We don't know if his doctor will decrease the dose, but it's not likely because he'll need more as he grows.
Please keep Mitch and his doctors in your prayers. We appreciate it!
