NICKI UPDATE! Nicki is out of surgery and it went very well. She does NOT have cancer! They removed what looked like a stone formation by breaking it up with lasers. Dr said it was the weirdest stone hes ever seen. They were able to place a stent in her ureter. They left a percutaneous nephrostomy tube in place, but its no longer attached to a bag! Its capped! They will leave that in for about 2 weeks and then remove it so long as the stent is working properly. She still has a narrowing in the ureter right at the juncture of the kidney/ureter. She will most likely need a surgery in the future. Doctor said if all goes well, they will attempt to remove the stent in about 6 weeks and see how she does on her own...This Mommy is soo relieved. Tears of joy!
