Would you enjoy some news that is so good that it led to repeated
testing and yet another ultrasound?
 
It looks like the repeated cystos have saved Hilbert's kidneys!
 
The two remaining tiny stones must have been loose accretions of sludge
which syringed out, or they dissolved, or he passed them.
 
He is urinating.
 
His urethra is working.
 
His bladder has not been damaged by all the follow-up work to save his
kidneys.
 
No remaining stones show up on ultrasound now.
 
His kidney size is reducing.
 
And here is the absolutely most INCREDIBLE thing, given how bad his
numbers had been over and over the last few days: his kidney values are
now in the NORMAL ranges!  Our vet, Joe Martins, saved his kidneys.
 
Joe's approach of using the repeated cystos worked!  Talk about
spectacular work!
 
Hilbert is going to make it!
