One year ago today! This was the hardest few days we had as parents. When I was 35 weeks pregnant the doctors saw something wrong with his kidneys. Max was born with kidney reflux disease, something I passed down to him. Max had it bad enough (level 5, the worst and a level 4) that if left untreated, his kidneys would eventually fail him. He started meds and had his first ultrasound at just 6 hours old. Then came a lot of urologist appointments, tests, more meds and his first of two surgeries. However, with proactive doctors and modern medicine we kicked those kidneys into great health. We drove our 10 month old up to Denver for his “big” surgery, a ureteral reimplantation. A very impressive (nerve wracking) 3.5 hour surgery that removed his ureters from his bladder, they were then resized and shaped and reimplanted into new places in his bladder. Do you have an idea how small those are?! Recovery was probably the hardest and only on us as parents. He had stents and tubes coming out of his bladder into two diapers for 8 weeks. Which made diaper changes with a very curious and active 10 month old, a two man job. Max has his final test in two months, where he will be getting his 10th (and final) ultrasound to ensure his kidneys are no longer swollen or backing up with urine. No more meds, no more tests, no more worries about his pee and NO MORE BILLS! 😆 So proud of this little guy and how great he has handled this journey. As we have said before, a shout out to the parents who deal with chronic and serious illnesses with their kiddos daily. You are the real MVP. How lucky they are to have you, hang in there! 🙏🏻 #kidneyreflux

Dresses cool and likes to watch “Melmo” on the weekends. 🖤
