Emmett in the Hospital

Wanted to pass on the info that Emmett has been in the hospital. He had a small surgery and will have another today as yesterday's did not work. From what I can tell after shifting through my mother's conversation and medical translation...is that his kidneys are working over time and are not draining in to the bladder. Yesterday they attempted to put a shunt in to open things up and could not because something hard was blocking it. (So they took a biopsy of that. I think the blockage is in the kidney.) So they looked at the bladder and said that was in bad shape too. So today they are putting a tube in the kidney, to be ran outside of the body to bypass the bladder. (?) (Details get real hazy with my mother on these things.) If this doesn't work then it's dialysis from here on out. Added element of this is, (which I don't think my mother is giving it's credit due), that they had to give him 2 pints of blood before all this. He is bleeding somewhere. They have already done the regular checks on where is could be, but came up with nothing. Two pints is a lot of blood to not know where it's going. At the least this sounds like kidney failure to me and possible cancer. Wanted to let you know.
