Today's sonograms showed that Susannah's kidneys are finally starting to come down to size! The doctor thinks that we are on the right path. She has been without any stents or tubing for about a month now, and she's been off the bladder medication for about the same amount. For her kidneys to decrease in size -- on their own without any intervention -- is a huge step forward for us. It seems that she just has this baggy, stretched system that will take time to get to normal. We'll go back to Columbia in two months for a follow-up visit.
Hard to believe that a year ago today she had her first surgery. What a long strange trip it's been ... and we are so grateful that we are finally starting to see the end.
Time to celebrate! Susannah's asleep and we are drinking cava and eating take-out.
