Brody's Nephrostomy Tube is Out, Yeah!

Brody had an ultrasound today which showed no fluid around his kidney and you could see the urine from the left kidney flowing into the bladder.  He was then sent to interventional radiology where a IV contrast dye was injected into his nephrostomy tube as the radiologist watched to observe the flow through his kidney's to urterer and bladder.  The doctor's comment was, "it's wide open" and he instructed the nurse to go ahead and pull the tube.  Brody was very brave through the whole experience.  He needed no sedation or medication and his tube is now out.  Brody is happy to be home and free of carrying around his tube and bag of urine.  He has been wanting to jump in his "jumper" for quite some time now but he had not been able to because we were so afraid he would accidentally pull his tube loose if he did.  So he has been enjoying jumping in his jumper since he got home and playing with his buddy, Lucy.
