Decided to go with the Deflux Injection
After talking with Ben's urologist on Friday, we have decided to go with the Deflux injection. Ben does have some scarring on his left kidney (the side that showed no reflux - kind of contradicts his other test that showed his left side reflux was gone), but it was very minimal. The right side didn't have any scarring. Now we know that there isn't any huge time crunch to get the open procedure done, so I wanted to try the less invasive route first. We are trying to get that added on to Ben's surgery on June 8. His doc didn't seem to think it would be a problem. Ben should still be able to come home the day of his surgery. We won't know until three months after the injection if it worked. If not, Ben would get another round of Deflux. Ben can get up to three rounds. There is also a one year relapse period. This would be so wonderful if it worked. I'm hoping for the best!

We just need to think positive...this IS going to work. He's such a little trooper that I know he will come through this but in his own little time frame. One thing I've seen with Ben - he does everything at his own speed.
Love ya Sweetheart,
