no big deal
We saw the pediatric urologist today and it confirmed my assumption that it was more like a passing of the baton between our pediatrician and a specialist. He looked over our tests and agreed with med doses, scheduled another renal ultra sound for 6 months from now and said we would just repeat another vcug in another year (YAY). The logistics of juggling the older girls around while I was at the appt was more stressful than the actual appt. Daddy ended up carting them around and hanging out for a few hours with them.
He didn't seem concerned that the numbers were sort of jumping around and didn't seem concerned we were seeing it on the left for the first time. Onward with the same plan of a low dose of antibiotics everyday and waiting till she out grows it.
In other family news, we are no longer moving. I've debated about whether to post about this or not and when I did how much info do I give. I have to say I am so saddened by how the economy seems to be affecting so many close to us. This is how it touched our family, the deal on the house fell through. If you want more details and we're tight like that then feel free to call, ;).
I had a very rough couple of days and was really looking forward to moving to that particular part of town. I had already day dreamed about how we would spend the spring and summer in the backyard and was pretty much moved in- in my mind (not to mention had packed several boxes). I am slowly shifting gears to become content again in this house and trying to figure out how much holiday stuff to get out now that I wouldn't be packing it up.
I don't think the hard part was necessarily losing that particular house (although have I mentioned how much I loved the double lot), the hard part was my response to God. For 5 weeks I had felt like we were sort of dragged through the ringer of waiting, praying, stressing, letting things go, giving over to God and this exhausting learning process and I was sort of left feeling like it was all for nothing. It felt hurtful and I was really sad and confused. Things are getting better and the anger is abating. We may never know the reason but I do feel an overwhelming sense that He loves us and has our best in mind.
We're praying for all our friends and family who have lost jobs and are struggling through this time.
