My 29 year old daughter, who is 5 months pregnant is suffering from a kidney stone issue. She has been in and out of the hospital for the last week. Today, they finally decided to do a stent. They found the kidney to be full of infection. She is in extreme pain tonight and is not able to empty her bladder even with a catheter. They did not try to locate the stone, but did discover when placing the stent that her ureter had a kink or loop in it. I m feeling so helpless!!
