We are in the Clear

A couple weeks ago Lily got a UTI. With babies they want to make sure the infection is not going to her kidneys, so they had us do some testing. My niece has Kidney Reflux and ended up having to be on medicine for a while then ended up having surgery to fix the problem. I was hoping Lily's testing would come back negative so we didn't have to go through all of that. 

In the waiting room

I dropped Akoy off at a friends then headed to St. Elizabeth's hospital. We started out by having an ultrasound. Lily did not like it. I was having to hold her down for about 10 minutes. She was happy when I was able to hold her and she could play around while we waited for the next test. I wish she would take a binky or bottle to help make that go easier! 

 The next test was a VUG. They basically put in a catheter and then insert some dye. Then when she peed (after pouring warm water all over her) they took x-rays and watched to see if the dye made it's way up to the kidneys. It was funny when we entered the room. The x-ray lady said I looked familiar. Why yes, we were just in there twice for Akoy. Funny that she remembered us. She was so nice for Lily's visit and both of Akoy's. The doctor didn't notice anything right away. She was going to look on a bigger screen later to see if anything showed up. I never got a call, so I'm assuming everything was good. 

This is the nurse that we have seen every time.

Poor hands

It was so sad to see Lily have all those testing. She screamed through all of it. It was hard seeing her strapped into the machine so she could hold still. I'm glad things came back negative and I am hoping she is getting over her UTI. I can't wait to get my happy girl back! :)
