Kate's Kidney Biopsy

On Tuesday Kaitlyn went into the hospital for another kidney biopsy. Kaitlyn has some genetic issues with her kidney and is followed by a nephrologist. She had a biopsy three years ago and everything turned out normal but because she is still having some unresolved issues, he wanted to repeat the biopsy and double check to make sure everything is still ok.
Kate was such a tropper! The actual procedure is only about 15 mins but we were there from 7:30 am until 6:00 pm. And she basically had to lay flat on her back the entire time!!! She did great getting her IV and didn't complain a bit.
Because she wasn't able to eat anything for breakfast by the time her lunch came at 1:00 she was starving!!! I haven't seen her eat that much in a long time! :)

We go back for our follow up in a couple of weeks. Hopefully we'll get nothing but good news :)
