Test Results
Caroline had her VUCG test (where they filled her bladder with ink and watched her pee) and ultrasound yesterday morning. The worst part was that they strapped her down to this table to perform the VUCG test. She was not happy at all. The tests confirmed she has grade 2 urinary reflux which means urine back tracks up to her kidneys when she urinates. This causes urinary tract infections and potentially kidney infections. The good news is that 90% of these cases cure themselves as the children grow. So hopefully her little body will fix itself. For now we have to keep her on a low grade antibiotic everyday and have theses same tests done every year (yuck!) to track her progress.

Look at her sitting up all by herself. What a big girl.
I think that, in all, that prognosis sounds like good news. 90% fix themselves--excellent. Sorry about the yucky tests, luckily they're only once a year. What a brave girl. We're very proud of her : )
My kitchen sink is never that much fun. Maybe if I put Kitty in it...
Poor Caroline...yucky tests! But 90% is a good chance it'll fix itself but it sounds like she was a trooper. I love that picture!! What a great smile!!
