Stone removal success!  Dr. Jiminez came out a few minutes ago to let us know that everything went well!  Her ureter had actually dilated a lot so he was able to get his endoscopic camera way up and check.  He removed stone debris from the ureter (the stones may have passed already on their own). and placed a stent in the ureter that runs from the kidney all the way down to the bladder.

He's thrilled with her progress.  He feels that he might be able to move up the timetable for "blasting" those stones that remain in the kidney possibly to do that yet this month.  This should be a brief procedure again done on an outpatient basis.

He also says Sally needs to drink more water.

We're waiting now for Sally to recover in the post-op area, then we'll be making plans to head back to Arab.  Yea!

Hi Knox - it is wonderful to be able to track Sally's progress through your taking the time to input vital info, as well as spending so much of your time on site with her. We love Sally and pray for her every day that all will be better for her in 09 - Thank you again for ensuring we are all kept up-to-date on her health - Carol (Harold) Winslett
