Saw the urologist on Friday. She wants a repeat of the VCUG because the first one they did, they did not get a picture of the PUV, the valve connecting the urethra to the bladder. She says that based on his symptoms thus far she thinks that valve is not totally open so urine is not able to completely drain. If that is the case he will need a pretty minor surgery to break open the valves and that should solve it. She ordered it stat and he will have the test done this Friday. I really liked her and feel confident with her. She will be performing the catheterization for this test, since the last time he had this test he had to be catheterized 5 times before they finally got it right. Right now his right kidney has decreased in function a bit, but his left kidney is picking up the slack. The hope is that this surgery would stop any further deterioration. So, at least we are headed in the direction of finally getting some answers.
