I’d be grateful for prayers for the new grandbaby Luke.
Although the birth went well, and he’s a classic sweet calm second baby, nursing well, he has a congenital partial urinary obstruction. The fetal ultrasounds showed one kidney looking a little odd, but no one expected anything this severe. He could lose both kidneys if this is not corrected.
He is able to pee, but not completely, so he is stuck in the hospital, now on the pediatrics ward. He will be transferred, maybe Friday, to Charlotte for specialty neonatal urologic surgery (endoscopic, not open.
@Tin Man, you’re in good company. He had his cystogram about the same time as you.) We don’t know how long he’ll be hospitalized after that.
This is obviously hard on all of us, especially the four-year-old, who hasn’t seen his mom since Friday night, his little brother at all except over phone, and his dad until this morning. No visitors, of course. He’s hanging in there, but he’s confused and upset.
Thoughts and prayers appreciated for little Luke, the dedicated healthcare professionals, and the rest of us, as we go through this journey.
