She has a glass of cranberry juice per day to keep away the infections and she hasn't had one for years now. She is 14 and provided she doesnt sustain damage to it she should be fine. Also my sister in law, has one kidney as she had to have the other one removed as it was cancerous and she is getting along fine.

They had some difficulties of the start but that was due to an early birth not kidneys. Chances are he will be fine! im not sure if that is the story in every case but hope for success :)
