It was so hard to see her go through all of this and be strong for her at the same time. In the middle of one of the test I had to be ferm and tell her to stop crying so she would void. She took a couple of deap breaths and let to go and it was all over. I share this with you so you can be ready to help her any way you can.Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14493053447357838766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209647468117242658.post-34606431650519432312010-03-03T16:22:55.218-05:002010-03-03T16:22:55.218-05:00I so hope she is feeling better soon!I so hope she is feeling better soon!a Tonggu Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365812914466181060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209647468117242658.post-76947425039405039622010-03-01T23:20:48.965-05:002010-03-01T23:20:48.965-05:00Eme is SUPER fortunate to have two amazing, knowle...Eme is SUPER fortunate to have two amazing, knowledgeable parents (& 3 older brothers) to see her through all this.

Mia was in the hospital for a month back in September. It was so hard!<br /><br />I will pray that all of her tests come back normal and that she is feeling better soon.

She also has a smaller right kidney and it's swollen with fluid, so there may be another primary obstruction (in her case, strange she wasn't refluxing into both kidneys). there is also scarring/damage to both, but thankfully the urologist is pretty sure daily cathing will help and she won't have to ever be on dialysis.<br /><br />i can't imagine how hard this all was for you guys. i'll be really anxious to hear the final outcome. thinking of you.<br /><br />it is incredibly hard to watch our kids go through this stuff. 2 MRI's under general anesthesia and all the invasive tests... i hear you. what bugs me with Elle is that she puts on such a brave face, holds it in and can't let herself cry until so much later. i think it's awesome that your girl is letting her emotions out in the moment.kitchuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907460384010952009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209647468117242658.post-4610975499763573932010-02-28T23:21:03.382-05:002010-02-28T23:21:03.382-05:00Oh I am so sorry T!

I hope the antibiotics did their job well. Sarah had a really bad UTI a year and a half ago, and they were worried about the kidney reflux as well..... luckily that was not the case, but I know the torture that your little girl faced with those tests. I sobbed as they held Sarah down screaming and crying trying to perform them. <br /><br />Keep us posted.
