Prayers, Good Wishes, Positive Thoughts, Good Vibes, whatever you've got that's positive and good.

My mom went to see the Urologist today to discuss some CAT scans he had taken a few weeks back. He told her that her left kidney is in bad shape, that it's essentially a water sack, because infection has caused inflammation of the left kidney and the ureter leading to the bladder from that kidney.

This Monday he is going to have her at their surgery center and he's going to use more advanced machinery to examine the exact problem with the left kidney (the right kidney has a little infection and inflammation, but nowhere near the level of the left kidney), and he wants to find out what's causing this level of inflammation.

She's scared because she's already been through hell and back (the Sarcoidosis), and now this. She's in pain from the inflammation, and even after 15 days of antibiotics, it's only put a dent in the infection (aside from this, she's had dozens of UTIs over the past couple of years). What I want is the best you can send her way. I don't care what you believe as long as it's positive. She needs all the help she can get. I just want her to come through this healthy and full of life.

All my best to you,
John
 
I really hope her condition improves soon. I don't know what the rest of the stuff is, but I had a UTI once in my life and I never want to go through that hell again. It's like someone taking a knife to you down there. Lots of sympathy, and best wishes to your mother.
 
Good luck to your mom, J. :( I hope they can quickly find the problem and resolve it. Keep us updated.
 
You've got so much on your own plate. Prayers and best wishes to you, your mom and your family.
 
I had similar situation in my family, with my dad, and my mum will soon have difficult surgery, so I know how hard it can be. I'll keep you in my prayers. I hope she gets well soon.
 
I'm sorry to hear that. My mom had some kind of kidney infection or inflammation, and it took a while for her to heal. I pray for your mom to get better. She's very lucky to have you by her side.
 
Thanks, everyone. Her doctor called her this morning and wants her to come in tomorrow for some blood work, then an EKG. Then Monday she gets the X-ray and the dye put in to see what her kidneys are actually doing.

All of your prayers, positive thoughts and warm wishes are greatly appreciated.
 
You got it, J.

Hope everything will work out for your mum and that the infection will recede quickly.
 
My prayers are with your mom and your family, John. It's so difficult to see a loved one suffer. :(
