Playing with crayons and patiently waiting for her turn in the radiology waiting room...
Stripped down to her diaper in radiology, again...waiting her turn.
Showing off her belly & her hospital bracelet...
Understandably, there were no pictures taken post-procedure...
We had our appointment for the VCUG at Children's today. This was the test before that we were dressed & ready for last month, only to find out she was running a 101' temp so we were sent to the pediatrician instead and told to reschedule...So, things went fine, I wish I could say she enjoyed the test, but that would be a blatent fib. Unfortunately the results weren't what we expected, or had hoped for - although in this day, as long as it can be treated, we're all good. In a nutshell, she does have urinary reflux (which was what this test was to rule out or confirm) - has it on both sides, going into both kidneys. They inserted a catheter and loaded her up with contrast. My daugher is stubborn, takes after her mom & dad, and refused to pee for them - after many many containers of warm water on her privates, she finally relented. :)
Not sure what the treatment is from here, we'll wait to hear from our ped after he gets the report. As for now, she is sleeping peacefully. :)
Update: She seems to be fine this evening - except when she peed, she started screaming "owwwww, poop" and crying hysterically. I think this was the first pee since her test - Susan stayed with her while I took Mason to swimming, and she had a dry post-nap diaper and a poopy one, so I think this one must have been the first pee....So, we are getting ready for a sits-bath tonight, per the nurse's suggestion.
And, I did talk to our ped's nurse and she said it will likely be two weeks before they get the report from Children's - at which point they will refer us to a urologist back down at Children's for treatment...joy, more driving, more sick days off from work. Woohoo!
