Just now took him back for procedure.  Please pray they can get stent in!

...there really is a lot riding on this.  If they can't get a stent in, then he has to have a nephrostomy tube through his back surgery and then shortly after his back surgery, he will need to have an additional and significant surgery to remove any obstruction in his ureter.  We would do that in Birmingham.  I just keep reminding myself, that other stent had to come out no matter what.  We had to face this.  The only thing we might could have done different was was to replace the old stent in the same procedure.  That was the docs call not mine.  So much is riding on this and this could mean more trauma for our family...waiting for answers sucks...
Please God let them successfully get in a stent and let it function properly.

Still waiting to do the procedure.  Things are running behind.

We are going to try and place a stent in Clayton's ureter Monday morning at 10:30.  The doctors are slightly worried about whether they will be able to since the contrast media did not appear to go down his ureter at all.  Please pray we will be able to place the stent without complications.  I'll update as soon as I know how it goes.
