Kamryn's visit to TCH

After our exciting and wonderful weekend it was off the our day at the hospital. We got up early and left the house at 6:30 for our adventure at Texas Children's Hospital (you are supposed to sleep in on your days off). Driving downtown I remembered why I live close to work. We finally arrived for our day, of mostly waiting. They injected Kamryn with a dye and then told us to come back in 2 hours. So off we went to kill time--I told her we could get a milkshake. So off to the Mickey D's, but apparently you can't get milkshakes at 9 am--but they did have wifi so K was able to watch some Mickey and Sponge Bob. Back to the nuclear medicine (doesn't that just sound creepish) for the x-rays. It took all of about 15 minutes which she watched the Disney channel during. Now it was back to more killing time--don't see doctor for another 2 hours. We went to the food court and ate some expensive not very good pizza. Then we decided to just sit in the doctor's waiting room since they had toys to play with. I started reading my book, Kamryn played withe toys and Zayne supervised through his eyelids. Did I mention Zayne and I were completely exhausted from lack of sleep. Between the excitement of Jon's car and being afraid it was going to happen again (to be on the safe side Jon left his Tahoe at my house--I spent most of the night listening to make sure they weren't casing my neighborhood this time) and the anxiety of Kamryn's tests--we didn't get much sleep. Finally got to see the doctor--everything is fine. Her right kidney is 3mm smaller than the left, but nothing to worry about. So, at 2 pm we are headed home with the relief that Kamryn does not have damage. She will still need to take medicine and have her annual tests done in November until she completely outgrows the reflux, but it has not caused more extensive damage. Now, maybe we can go back to some normalcy. Work has settled down, Kamryn doesn't have damage and life is good.
