Fw Hydroniphrosis
The past few weeks have been a giant roll-o-costar some days are up other days are down. I have been swimming in a world filled with Doctors appointments and trips to the pharmacy mean while staying caught up with the never ending pile of home work. My wife is now five and half months pregnant and has come down with Hydroniphosis which literally means water on the kidney. This means that the water that should be running through the kidney is damming up and causing her kidney to swell. Now I know this does not sound good but. After doing more research about it and talking to the Urologist we learned that 20% of pregnant women ended up with Hydroniphosis and 60% of them have the baby with no complications to the mother or the baby. In my wife cause we learned that the kidney problems could very well be pre-existing conditions that was complicated with the pregnancy and the Doctors will be able to fix the portion of the kidney that is being pinched after the baby is born. Until then the Doctors believe that the pain should stay at the same leave it is now

Wow That is really scary about your wife. I hope that everything works out and that she feels better. It sounds like the doctors at least have experience with it and should be able to help her through it even if they can't really cure it until after the baby is born. Tell your wife that I hope she feels better and isn't in too much pain.
