I posted about 7 weeks ago that they noticed my son only had one kidney in my 36w ultrasound. It wasn't anything to be alarmed about, and I was told to follow-up with his pediatrician once he was born. I was a little sad about it, but also relieved thinking he wouldn't be playing any high impact sports.

Fast-forward. He's born early. We schedule an ultrasound, per the pediatrician's request, to have a look at his kidneys once he's on the outside. He's only 7 weeks old so there's no way he's met his deductible. I pay it off in order to have decent coverage of this ultrasound. A PRETTY PENNY to pay it off...and we find out today, he's got two perfectly good kidneys.

Sigh...

Of course we are thrilled. He's just fine. Not that one kidney was anything horrible. But still! This morning my husband took 4 hours off work, we drove out to a special children's hospital, we spent time and money that wasn't necessary - because he has 2 KIDNEYS!

I feel like I should ask for a refund. But I guess this is just life, right? Just had to vent. Anyone else have any insurance stories to share?
