Zac's fourth ultrasound and its result for his Hydronephrosis

We all woke up early morning yesterday for Zac's 9:30AM kidney ultrasound at Riley Children's Hospital. We were called right away after we were registered and the ultrasound probably lasted for only 10- 15 minutes. Zac was very cooperative and he didn't gave the sonographer a hard time. They checked for the size and the amount of fluid found in his kidney, took a picture of them and submitted them to his Urologist. i guess another reason why Zac didn't give a fist is because of the TV his watching hehe.

We were called again for the result, but before the urologist came, a nurse took a sample of Zac's urine. She made Zac lay down in the bed and sticked a plastic bag on his private organ and hope that he will pee. i gave Zac a bottle of milk because I am sure that drinking milk will make him pee and he did pee after 5 minutes of drinking. My husband called the nurse and the nurse took the urine sample. Another doctor went in  the room and check Zac's belly if there is any lump but good thing that he found nothing. At last the urologist came, he brought the cd and ran it in the computer. He showed to us the previous pictures of Zac's kidney and the latest one. He showed us the comparison and told us that his right kidney is NEGATIVE to hydronephrosis and his left kidney has still the same amount of fluid found on his last ultrasound (June 2010).

We saw on the pictures there were no changes in his left kidney. The good thing about it is that at least it didn't get worse. His urologist categorized Zac's hydronep in stage 2 (There are 4 stages of hydronep and 4 is the worst). He said again the same thing, that he don't need to go under any medication because his condition is MODERATE and 80% of this resolve by itself. For now all we can do is to monitor him and regular ultrasound for his kidney. His Urologist wants to see him again after 9 months.
