VCUG, let this be our last
I'm hoping tomorrow ends our journey with kidney reflux, Caroline is scheduled for her third vcug at 8am.
I can't believe it began over a year ago and even if these tests seem invasive and all the girls have had them (Julia and Caroline twice), I am completely thankful that we have been spared from the surgery.
I would really appreciate prayers in the am. I am feeling tired still from my trip and am even more tired in my mind from all the moving stress and details. I'm trying to roll with it but I can tell that I am coming to the end of my rope. I don't want something that normally would have been a simple test or procedure to be blown out of proportion just because I have less patience and energy. I'm not looking forward to holding Caroline still for the time it takes to fill her bladder and get the right shots. I'm hoping and praying for no signs of reflux.

Yeah - definitely praying for a resolution to this issue. You don't need any complications during this high-stress time.

Thanks Lisa, apparently at this point there is to be no resolution. :(
Unfortunately we still have a grade 1 on the left side and she saw reflux on the right as well (first time for that) so we have a grade 2 on the right.
I feel mostly annoyed that we still have to deal with this and obviously disappointed that we'll go through another vcug.
Being at the children's hospital does remind me that we aren't dealing with anything terminal and that I am not a career hospital parent. I'm grateful for that.
