Radiation Day 2 / Kidney Splint Plans

Ali has radiation therapy in another 20 minutes. We just talked with the urologist here about her blocked kidney. Turns out the block is occurring between the kidney and the bladder. The kidney is approximately 2-3 times the size it should be. Apparently kidneys have two parts, the filter around the middle, and the middle that stores the urine. Their role is to maintain the balance of bodily fluids by filtering and secreting metabolites (such as urea) and minerals from the blood and excreting them, along with water, as urine. Go Wikipedia.
Anyways, either Monday or Tuesday, Alison will have a splint placed to allow that kidney to drain. They scope the splints in. Here's to hoping that the extra room in there, after releasing the flood gates, will provide much needed relief to Ali.
-Update- Alison is completed with day 2 of radiation. It was much quicker today, and she's feeling alright. Her blood was low, so she'll go through another transfusion today. Tomorrow she's scheduled for a CT scan so they can spot in better with their radiation. They're also going to place ?permanent? marks on her so they can sight in easier.
We get the keys to our new house at 4PM. My mother and brother are coming to help repair and paint the walls, plus clean, so that when the movers unpack us on Wednesday, Alison will be released to a house we can call home.
