Thanks all...posted on Daily Insights about the long day...he got through it, but was bleeding quite a bit for a time...he'll be okay, though. The doc put a string on the stent so he can pull it out on Monday...as to why he still needs it...he still has several 1mm stones in the kidney and the doc hopes this will flush out in a day or two.
I hate having my babies not well...
He'll have to go on a low-protein, low-sodium diet.
