If you remember a couple of weeks ago Kamryn had the UTI and they wanted us to take her for some follow tests, we had one of those today down at Texas Children's Hospital. I did not hear the news I wanted to hear, I did not hear everything is fine. Apparently Kamryn does have some reflux of her bladder, from what I understand at this point--instead of her urine traveling out of her body, it will reflux back up to her kidneys. We have an ultrasound tomorrow to check out her kidneys and then on the 26th we are going to see a specialist. I don't have a whole lot of information right now, but I wanted to keep everyone posted. It really isn't as serious as this blog may make it, but just scary for me. The radiologist said it is still mild to moderate and she may grow out of it--so this was positive for me. Since we can't get into the specialist for a few weeks, we need to give her antibiotics until then--which we are not extremely happy about since we hate having to give her medication. I will keep everyone posted, but from what I have been told so far, I don't need to worry. As for the test itself, I am very proud of our little girl. They had to stick a catheter in her and fill her bladder up with a dye, and lay there while they took X-rays, we then had to wait for her to start peeing so they could take X-rays of that--for a 18 month old, she did great. There was quite a bit of screaming--dad and brother heard her out in the hall--but she was a trooper.
