Everything Looks Good

A few weeks ago when Alyssa had her urinary tract infection, her doctor scheduled an appointment to make sure Alyssa's insides were working properly. She wanted to make sure that there wasn't any reflux with her bladder and kidneys that caused the urinary tract infection.

It was a confusing drive to the hospital and Alyssa was crabby from not taking a long nap. She fought to get the ultrasound done and she screamed when they had to strap her to the little table to stick the catheter into her.

She was a stubborn little one. When they dripped the dye liquid into her bladder, her bladder quickly became full. She refused to pee. She was screaming and holding it in. After a couple minutes, the doctor ordered the nurse to take the catheter out. As soon as it was out, Alyssa immediately peed all over the table. (Good Girl!!!)

The monitor showed her tiny bladder and the dye that filled inside of it. When she released urine all over their table, it only went down. Nothing refluxed back up into her kidneys!! YEAH!

So, everything is OK and she doesn't have to be on any type of antibiotics.

My mom came with me, since she is somewhat familiar with this hospital. (My youngest sister was 10 weeks premature and had to stay incubated at this Babies & Children's hospital until her lungs fully developed).

As we were leaving, my mom felt it necessary to make the comment that Alyssa was a stubborn girl, just like her mom. How rude?!?!
