Visiting Uncle Robert on his Birthday & Riley Hospital Visit

This past couple days we have been out of town visiting Uncle Robert and going back to Riley Hospital for Ethan's urology check up. We were so excited to stay with Uncle Robert and Kari the night before our Riley visit. It was actually my brother's birthday!!! Nathan, Ethan, and I took Robert out to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings for a fun Birthday Dinner. Then after dinner, Uncle Robert wanted to take Ethan to a place called Money Joes. This place was SUPER FUN. We all enjoyed being kids ha!  Visiting Uncle Robert and Kari the day before Riley Appointments have been so nice. When we wake up for a long day at Riley we are only an hour away plus we always have way to much fun there. Here are some pictures from our visit.





Ethan loved taking a tubby at Uncle  Robert's. He is a big fan of their kitties.

Ethan's testing at Riley went really smoothly. This visit he ONLY had to have a simple ultrasound. We were so thankful for this! During Ethan's visit, his ultrasound revealed that his urinary tract looks the same as it did 2 months ago when testing was done. So basically, our visit consisted of them comparing pictures ( of bladder, ureter,  kidneys)  and numbers of kidney function to previous visits since birth. Ethan's urologist sent us home with comfortable news. He told us that since nothing has gotten worse and since things have simply stayed the same we were fine to go home and come back in 4 whole months!!! We talked a little about a "possible" surgery in the future but, so far we are not having to do this surgery. This is all wonderful news. We are so thankful that Ethan is doing so well lately. We thanked god for blessing us with good news. Thank you all for your support and prayers during this visit. We pray and hope that Ethan continues to do well!
Here is my Little Guy during his Riley Visit! Hes such a trooper, always smiling no matter what!
