My son had a urology appointment today that we have been treating as more of a formality than anything else.

It’s not a formality.

Preliminary, and I do mean preliminary, results point to issues of reflux caused by improper drainage of one of his kidneys. This condition is associated with his Goldenhar’s. The effects are more increased urinary tract infections and kidney infections. If the infections occur frequently, that could lead to more medical problems. If the reflux becomes a larger problem, there could be toxicity problems that I currently do not understand fully.

I guess he’ll be drinking cranberry juice when he starts eating.

In addition, I received some very bad news that I cannot post about.

Not a good day, but at least God is still the same. He’s still good. He still abides with us.
