Ultrasound and Check Up

This past Tuesday Trafton had an appointment with the urologist who has been following his kidney and cyst problem.  The ultrasound showed that the size of the cyst on his bladder that is being created by his one problem kidney has not grown at all since his last check up in March.  Previous ultrasounds showed that that the cyst was growing slightly, but not too fast, which is why the doctor decided to wait until June 2013 to remove the kidney and ureter and aspirate the cyst.  At this appointment, it was the urologist's (the one who will be doing the actual surgery) decision that we wait until June 2014 to do the procedure.  He said that while the procedure definitely needs to be done, it will be best to wait as long as possible since it will be easier to do when Trafton is bigger.  So, we won't have to see him again until March 2014 to do another ultrasound and schedule the surgery for June.
