Doctors appointments this week

Well we had a big urology check up for Finnian yesterday. They did a urodynamic test on him. He passed with flying colours. They couldn't find any thing wrong as to why at times he doesn't pee. Other than there could be some break in the signal coming back to the bladder to open and void. Or there could be a break on the signal being sent to the brain that the bladder is full.
His ultrasound of the bladder didn't show the same results as the last time which was very good. We have found that his ability to pee is connected to his seizures so he is now being written up as having a neurogenetic bladder.
Today we went to the ortho to get his hip checked out and we had x-rays done first. Well we were able to take him out of his brace and continue on as normal. The x-rays now show that his right hip looks really bad and the ortho doc wants to do it sooner rather than later and I fully agree with what I could see on the x-rays. I am not a trained professional but I have seen my share of x-rays in my time and his left hip looks great and the right one thats a whole other story. We were going to get an appointment with the John the brace guy to adjust his long leg braces but since his right hip surgery is going to be sooner rather than later we both decided to wait until the other hip is done and do all of the adjustments on the same day.
So thats all form here for now
