More of the same is generally a good thing. This was our most recent message from school:
Dear Mom and Dad,
The bad news is that Ivy League colleges are expensive, so start saving! The good news is that Jacob will no doubt be applying to some of them in a few years! He scored another 100%, this time on our Chapter One Math test. I am so proud of him, to say the least, and I see his academic progress as exponential! I thought you might enjoy knowing this before the weekend!!Love to all the Silvermans..... Have a great weekend!
Jake had a CAT scan of the kidneys on Friday. This was his first scan that used contrast (which is more radioactive) to show blood flow, so we can't really compare it with the prior non-contrast scans. There's a section of healthy kidney tissue which receives blood flow, but there are large parts of the kidneys which don't appear to receive blood flow. There are risks and side effects associated with the contrast CAT scan, and we don't expect to do another one for a while. If there is improvement, it will be revealed when they do chemical tests of his urine (which is collected over a 24 hour period). That was the test which reflected 7% kidney function as of last month. They will do that test every 90 days or so.
