[tri-med] Re: kidney ultrasounds

Mitchell is t13 mosaic. He hasn't had any kidney problems--they just did a
scan at birth to make sure. It came back normal. They haven't done one since
but his doctor always makes sure he feels really carefully when we are in
there. I was thinking that it was more a t18 thing, not saying it can't
happen to a 13, but just more prevelent w/t18. Anyway, I suppose it wouldn't
hurt. I'll talk to his doctor when we see him for his 2 year.
Thanks
