### Gid kid's tests

Gideon had some tests at the children's hospital today.
He passed with two A's and a B.
No, just kidding. Every time I say something about his "tests" that's what I think of, though.
But he did pass. His bladder study test was very satisfactory--he's not having bladder spasms or over-full high-pressure problems. This is good because it means there is much less chance for kidney infections and other high-risk problems. We don't have to go in for this test again for twelve months--yay!
His renal (kidney) ultrasound was also fine. Apparently his kidneys are a bit on the small size, but not anything to worry about. But everything is growing fine and healthy and looks just like it should. Another yay!
In a lot of ways, what I think of as his main disability--the potential that he won't walk--doesn't actually impact his quality of life. It's the "little" things--like kidney problems--that can cause much bigger problems. So I'm very very grateful that he is getting such a great start in life!
And now I'm exhausted, and must go to bed. It's an awfully long drive up to Primary's, and coming back during rush hour is no picnic, especially with tired, cranky kids in the back. (Thank goodness for Grandma and Grandpa Ross watching the older two for me! It sure made my day about 1000 times easier.)
