Just to give you the back story on what I will be talking about here...When I was 20 weeks pregnant with Isaiah...I received a 
call from my doctors office telling me that I had polyhydroamnios- which is eccentually fluid build up around the baby. I was referred to The Perinatal Center of Oklahoma in Edmond. Everything ended up being fine, but they wanted to see me back when I was between 35-38 weeks pregnant. So I went back...found out then that Isaiah had hydronephrosis. Which is dialation of the kidney by urine that is not draining properly- that is my interetation of it. So when he was born...they ran an ultrasound on him to see if he still had it, In which he did...so we were referred to a specialist at OU Childrens Hospital. When they ran his first test and ultrasound...we found out he had PUV which is where the uriture is affected by the dialation. And he had kidney reflux. So we have been having routine ultrasounds, and studies done on him nearly for two years. Thats two years of antibotics. Two years of constant worry if my Isaiah was having kidney failure. Two years of wondering if his kidney was gonna change or would he have to under go surgery. Then about 3 months ago, the urologist that we see told me that if there was no change in Isaiah, when they did the studies, Isaiah would undergo surgery by the end of the year. This saddened my heart. I felt as if I had done something wrong while carrying him. With a new baby on the way I was so
scared about losing one of my precious children.
Yesterday was the studies were performed for the 5th time since he has been born, the routine taping him down to the bed...making sure not to knock out the IV or anything (thankfully he tends to fall asleep on these) I just knew for sure that he was gonna have to have a surgery. We waited what seemed forever and a day in the waiting room and in the room. Then the doc comes in smiling...I am thinking OMG DUDE PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS NOT HOW YOU GET YOUR JOLLIES OFF, BY TELLING A MOTHER HER BABY IS GONNA HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY??? He asks how Isaiah is doing Allen and I reply good nervously to the doctor. (He is German, and speaks with an accent and is very good looking) He says well "The reflux is gone...so no more antibotics" Tears immediatly rolled down my face..."Even better news the debris he had in his kidney last time...is gone" By this time I was blubbering like a big baby "Now to the better and wonderful news, the dialation in the kidney is going down and shrinking." I hugged the doctor. No joke. I couldnt help it. I was so happy I couldnt keep the tears away. Then the doc asked if there was anything else wrong with Isaiah, and my hubby said well he is really clumsy. The doctor told Isaiah to lay off the beers. LOL and then told us a story of how when he was sick growing up his gramma and momma used to give him a shot or two of beer with sugar in it to make him better. Then Isaiah was like NO! Doc then replied "Ok 1 beer but after that you gotta stop man" This made my baby smile.
