Hi Patti,

Its nice to see you pop up again :-))

The short answer to your question is yes - it does seem to be related to
T-18. Its not a common problem but many of our kids do develop either kidney
or gall stones (Faren has gall stones already!! and I am sure Michelle is
more up to speed on the topic than I am)

Is your doctor should look for any underlying causative factors - especially
osteopenia and thyroid issues?
