The Other Foreman

All my posts have been about me and Hannah and the twins so here's an update on the other Foreman, Chris:

Chris has been battling kidney stones yet again. He had an appointment with the new doctor last Monday and was scheduled for an IVP Friday morning. An IVP is basically an X-ray where they inject dye into the system beforehand to show more detail. According to the IVP results, he's got a kidney stone partially blocking on one side so he needs to schedule an appointment with a urologist as soon as possible. We're going with a different urologist this time around. Dr. Krauss at Bayfront has treated him previously but doesn't seem to be big on the prevention of kidney stones - just the treatment. Chris has had kidney stones about every 4-6 months on average since we got married and all we know is that they are caused by a hormonal imbalance that makes it so his body doesn't break down calcium like it should, so instead it builds up and creates stones in his kidneys.

I'll try to update the blog as we find out more.
