The Specialist Update

I just got back from my appointment with the specialist. Sadly it's a no news is good news situation. So apparently there is nothing that they can really do for me until after the baby is born. The doctor said not to get my hopes up because the stone is too big to pass normally. So basically -- this condition is basically what I will be dealing with for the next 3 months. Unless god forbid the stone puts too much strain on my kidney at which point I get a stint put in my kidney that causes more pain but keeps my kidney from failing. Basically, pray for me to keep the status quo.

I guess in better news, yesterday at the ultrasound there was a tiny hint that my due date may have been overestimated and that the baby might actually be due June 9. Possibly 6 days less of pain. Yea!

You poor thing! You never know the baby could be as much as a month early and be totally fine so it could only be 2 more months.
