Repeat your test in 4-6 months just to make sure it does not change.

Yes a CT scan was performed on my son's head. It said the patchy attenuation was located in the pons area of the brain stem. How serious is this and how should he follow up?

A floating kidney can move. Sometimes people are born with a low kidney called an anomaly and it never bothers them.
