KIDNEY UPDATE

Yesterday, I had a mega day at the hospital doing tests and follow-ups. But good news!

  • Blood work showed my creatinine levels totally normal.
  • My urine test came back completely normal.
  • An ultrasound showed no dilation in my kidneys.
  • And the entry sites of my nephrostomy tubes are healing nicely.

This means I don’t have to see my nephrologist again until the summer, and never have to see my urologist again! (Assuming, of course, that I continue to keep my kidneys healthy.)

AND I PEED IN A CUP. All of the nurses gave me high fives!

(Sorry, no photo. We were running around too much for Mommy to remember to take a picture. Miracles DO happen.)

A DIAGNOSIS

After eight hours of evaluations with a Developmental Pediatrician, Speech Language Pathologist, Psychologist and Occupational Therapist, along with questionnaires from my therapists and teachers, I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. (Or as we call it at home…Too Charming, Smart, and Handsome For My Own Good Disorder.)

THEN WE RODE ON THE TRAM!

LIBRARY PLAY DATE

I had a play date with Eliwen and another school friend, Zayla, at the Oregon City Public Library. So while I was there, I got to see my Lego Lab structure in the glass case!

The library has a cool play area with Lego, magnetic tiles, trains, play kitchen, and computers.

Eliwen loved when her Mommy pushed her on the swing.

After we were done playing, Eliwen surprised me with a nice birthday present!

LEGOLAB

I went with Daddy to my very first LEGOLab at the Oregon City Public Library. They bring Legos and you can make anything you want. It was super fun! I made a structure that I named, “Den.”
