Jessica's Kidneys

Jessica was admitted last night from the E.R. to a room. By the way, the biggest private room I have ever seen (probably to accommodate large family visits here in Latin America). She is currently passing one stone in her left kidney, but there are three others sitting high in the left kidney that the doctor wants to eliminate, probably with a lithotripsy. The stone that is passing is blocking her left ureter. The right kidney has hydronephrosis, which means is swollen with fluid and is not draining for some reason. This is common among pregnant ladies because the ureter gets constricted, but not for non-pregnant ladies. So they are concerned about that. Lastly, the urologist believes that Jessica has colitis which is an inflammation of the large intestine, that can lead to abdominal pain and acute infections.

She will be staying in the hospital at least until tomorrow. Thank you so much for praying.
