Super Kidney

This month we discovered an interesting thing about Brayden.  He went to the doctor for stomach pains and the doctor thought he had appendicitis so they sent him for a scan.  Well turned out he did not have appendicitis - just indigestion which resolved itself.  However there was another suprise finding.  It turns out Brayden only has one functioning kidney.  The other one never fully formed so its tiny and useless- essentially Brayden just has one to rely one.  However we visited with the doctor about it and Brayden will be just fine with one kidney.  Just needs to take care of himself the way we all should.  His other kidney has grown larger than normal and the doctor called it a super kidney- a term Brayden has embraced!
