Brooklyn Update
They did some more testing on Brooklyn yesterday to see how the flow of urine was from her kidney to her bladder and it looked pretty good. They still felt that there was a blockage at the top of the ureter where is connects with the kidney so they put a stent in yesterday. This should open up the ureter to allow the fluid to drain even better (i guess its a similar concept to tubes in the ears?). Anyways, the surgery went well and she came out of sedation fine this time. She will have to have the stent for a couple of weeks and then they will have to surgically remove it. They will test her again and see if it made a difference and then decide what to do from there. The doctor said "we are either going to be friends for a really long time or a really short time". I hope its a short time but thats just me!
