Dr. Baker called (love that!) just now saying Parker's right kidney is enlarged or dilated. He mentioned this to us when we met with him on Monday, as this happens a lot in babies this young. The condition is known as Hydronephrosis and is explained in detail here (with pictures):

Dr. Baker has ordered some more tests to confirm this diagnosis. It is possible that these additional tests could show an immature kidney/bladder function as opposed to blockage.
I know nothing more and no, I am not going to Google it because you only find the worst cases, it seems, on the internet. As always, we'll keep praying and I hope you will too. More to come...
BTW...I think it's kind of odd that I had kidney stones while I was pregnant with Parker and now he is having kidney problems....hmmm....
