ANNA'S KIDNEY ULTRASOUND

At Anna's 2 month check up I requested a follow up ultrasound to check out her right kidney.  She had been diagnosed in utero with unilateral hydronephrosis on her right kidney, but then on the ultrasound after birth they said it was gone.  Well, I really wanted to make sure that was accurate and requested a follow up.  I took her last Wednesday for the ultrasound and found out that she does have "mild" hydronephrosis on her right kidney.  I'm now taking her this Thursday for a VCUG (Voiding Cystourethrogram) which is basically an xray of her bladder and urethra with contrast administered via catheter.  It shouldn't cause her any pain, but it should give us some insight into what is going on with her kidney.  You would never know that anything is wrong with her though.  She is just as sweet as ever!  She even slept for an 8 hour stretch last night!!  Thank You!!! Thank You!!!  And Alexander slept through the night and stayed in bed til after 6am!!  Their mommy needed that desperately!!!! 

Does it get any prettier than that???
