After Justin's ultrasound there was some concern about the size of his kidneys. However, Dr. Hirsch questioned what they were basing that on (i.e. age, size, weight) so she called the head radiologist to discuss the results. As it turns out, they only looked at his age and didn't take into consideration his weight and size. The head radiologist confirmed that J's kidneys are average for his weight and size.
J's kidney blood work came back normal. Dr. Hirsch called today and said to go ahead and cancel our appointment, but she would discuss with the kidney specialist when he's in next Wednesday too see if there's a need for J to be re-evaluated when he's older.
But for now things are looking good and we've eliminated 2 out of 3 potential issues. The last procedure is the EGD next Thursday. But maybe now GI will begin to realize that his small size is due to genetics.
