Here is the update to everything. I kept the original message in here. My sister is having the surgery/procedure on Monday to get rid of the kidney stones. Apparently there are two of them. I believe the doctor is doing the sandblasting method. I do not know what that all entails, but hopefully it will end her pain. They told her that they might have to put a stent in for one week, depending on what happens with the stones. The doctor told her that once they get this taken care of, they can schedule an MRI and take care of the tumor. He did tell her that it looked large, but that might have something to do with the kidney stone. I have no idea what the correlation is, but I guess he does. Thanks for all the kind words. I will keep you all posted.
Hi. I am in some need of pixie dust for my younger sister. She was in WDW on Sat morning, getting ready to go to MGM with her husband and 2 year old son. She was in her hotel room getting ready when she felt a sharp stab of pain. It continued for about 15 minutes and got to the point where she passed out. They had to call 911 and she was taken to the hospital. Turns out she has a kidney stone. The hospital wanted to do surgery on Sunday but since she lives in NJ, and her husband could not be with her because he was with their child, she chose to fly back to NJ. She checked herself into the hospital near her house late Sat. night. She was released on Sunday morning, with no surgery done. They want her to see a urologist on Tuesday and do the surgery Wed. She is in alot of pain. But, to make it worse, the hospital called her on Sunday. Turns out that they had a dr review her x-rays and they found a tumor on her kidney. We were not expecting that news. At this point we have no idea what it is. She will be going in on Tuesday to figure out what to do about the stone, and then will find another specialist regarding the tumor. I know that they can be benign, and I am so hoping that this is the case. She is only 33. She is a teacher and is supposed to start teaching on Tuesday. Any supportive words would be appreciated. We are all in shock and are just taking it hour by hour.
