July 25, 2011 Update

Dad had asked Tom to call Dr. Chang, the urologist, for a consult on why he was peeing so much. Tom took dad today and they performed an ultrasound. There were no major revelations. Dad has some blockage of the kidneys and Dr. Chang ordered a test for that. He is also going to do a urine retention test. Have Dad drink a lot of fluids in Dr. Chang’s office and then they will measure how much Dad pee’s and the strength of the stream. That test is tomorrow. There is also some blood work being done to determine the state of his kidneys. Dad’s been doing well the last couple of months. He was scheduled to do a kidney follow-up with Dr. Nichols in August, so the timing of this is about right.

That’s it for now. Hope everyone is well,

John
