Tuesday 12;50

Dr. Jiminez, the urologist came by to check her.  He was glad she's sitting up.  He confirmed that the one stone had moved up back into the kidney.  He said that he's going to have to surgically remove the 3 lower stones.  He said he wants the other medical doctors to do their thing (I take that to mean the heart and lung issues) before addressing the stones.

I asked if the stone in the kidney might be a candidate for being pulverized.  He said that may be but he won't do that one at the same time.  He said he'll put a small stent in there (in the tube between the kidney and bladder?).

He said we might be addressing the stones next week.
