The Saga of the Kidney Stone Coming to an End

I am pleased to report that Daniel had his lithotripsy procedure today and it went very well. In Phoenix they were going to put a stint in between his bladder and kidney. Here Dr. Zimmerman felt it was an option, but wanted to be as least invasive as possible. The stone broke up so well and fine that he chose not to do the stint! That's one trip back to the hospital and under anesthesia we won't be taking ; ) Thank you, Lord! He is also optimistic that we won't be needing another round of lithotripsy either. We'll know for sure after our June 19th x-ray and doctor appointment. I have heard of a stone measuring 7mm needing multiple treatments. Daniel's was 1.7cm!!! Thank you, thank you, Jesus! And thank you all who have been praying for Daniel. The stone has already begun to pass and it seems we may be at the end of this journey.

We are praising the Lord with you, Franklin family and praying with you as this process comes to its end. May the Lord use this whole situation to strengthen Daniel and the whole family. Hope to see you all sometime before too long!
