Super Kidney!

So, yesterday we spent 3 hours driving in the snow to Childrens Hospital (and 3 hours back) for Isaiah's yearly kidney check-up. I must say this trip was worth the terrible drive. When we got there we took him for an ultrasound then we headed off to the Renal Clinic to meet up with the doctors who reviewed his ultrasound findings. The Doctor came in and announced that Isaiah has a "Super Kidney!" He is so pleased and so happy with the growth and development of Isaiah and his kidney that he doesn't want to see him anymore! Yay! Apparently kids his age who have two kidneys should have 5 to 6 centimeter kidneys. Isaiah's kidney is 8.3 centimeters which for someone with one kidney is amazing. It had grown 0.3 centimeters in one year which was really good (according to the doctor). So, now all we need to do is take him once a year to our family doctor for a urine test (which detects blood and protein in urine and therefore kidney failure) and a blood pressure test (which can also detect kidney failure). Therefore, it seems like our trips to Childrens may be coming to an end. Other than the once every three years when we are supposed to go and see the surgeon who fixed Zay's esophagus/trachea. We are so thankful for Childrens Hospital and everything they have done for Isaiah. It is an amazing place and without it who knows where we would be. So, Isaiah is doing wonderfully and thank you to everyone who has prayed for him in his short little life.....it worked!
