Kidney Stones

Actually, just one, but it is fairly good sized. He has pain every few weeks for a couple hours....and the ultrasound shows it is higher up and not going anywhere. He is on some medicine now, and goes back next week for another ultrasound. Next, they will bring up some "tapping" machine from Portland....and try that method. The 3rd option is somewhat....ehem....evasive. I will leave out the details! Here is an article that recently came out on kids with kidney stones, but bottom line, Sami is not big on fluids....so I think that contributed to it. Another factor is black tea.....how much tea do you think he drank in Ethiopia? ;) I am so thankful for health insurance and being close to Children's Hopsital! They are amazing.
