Kidney follow-up

Because of the looming snowstorm, we spent last night at SIL's place. They live about 8 miles (compared to our 40+ miles) from the children's hospital and Buddy had an early morning appointment there. This one was a follow-up with the urologist to check on his kidneys. By the sounds of his crying during the ultrasound, you would have thought the tech was dissecting his kidneys rather than simply taking pictures of them. Buddy kept signing "all done" throughout the 15-minute ordeal and I had to keep telling him, "No, not yet."
After it was over and the doctor had looked at the results, he happily told us that his kidneys looked fine, looked like they were growing well, and that he didn't need to see us again for a year. And there was great rejoicing.
