These last few days have absolutely been hellacious! Here's where we are now.....
Today he had an u/s to check if the kidney has gotten worse or not. It was the same, but it also showed gallstones. Yes, gallstones in an 11 y/o. We waited all freakin day for a surgeon to come in and tell us that they were too small to worry about, so no surgery unless they were obstructing the duct, which they are not. With that outta the way, the nephrologist said that he likely has reflux in the kidneys due to a congenital defect. That reflux apparently allowed bacteria into the kidney causing a staph infection there. Since it is extremely rare to have a staph infection in the kidney, they want to make sure that it doesnt spread into the rest of his body. He will have a VCUG or something like that early next week to determine if their suspicions of reflux are correct. If they are, the upper part of the right kidney (the defect) likely does not function, so it will have to be removed.
We are still here, and will be until he can keep food/water down. He's still on IV fluids, so until he can take water, he wont come off of them.
I'm exhausted, but thought I'd give an update! Thanks to everyone who has reached out to me to show your support and love, it has meant the absolute world to me!!!!!
