After the appointment today we have even more questions than answers. This will be a short update and I will fill in the rest a little later. The surgery is still tentatively scheduled for January 4Th, however the surgeon in Omaha can only perform a full nephrectomy. A partial nephrectomy for the areas of his infarction would be to complex for the surgeon here. Nothing is for certain until we have all of the scans reread and diagnosis' reconfirmed.

Upon reviewing the ct angiogram the surgeon has reason to believe that there is a possibility that both kidneys are affected. If that is the case we would have to look at transplant and donor options. I just pray that this is not true and we only have to worry about the right kidney infarction. At this point we are waiting for other radiologist to review the scans and also will have a cardiologist review. I have also been told to start looking for studies published in medical journals with his condition, then we will have to contact these surgeons to see if a partial nephrectomy would be an option if they were to perform the surgery.

So at this point we wait again, hopefully we will know more in a week or so. I will update with more details in a day or two. Thank your for all your thoughts and prayers, we need them now more than ever.
