Much Ado About Nothing?

Lucy had her tests at the hospital on Friday morning. I think it all boiled down to the doctor being overly cautious--everyone said things looked great. The radiologist even said that her bladder was "beautiful...just beautful." Okay...

Checking in

First stop--renal ultrasound

The second sonographer said her kidneys looked great. The first one didn't say anything~she took the ultrasound, left, and came back with the second lady to have another look. I think she might be new because she mistook Lucy's bladder for her uterus. It's weird when someone talks about the uterus and cervix of your sweet 7-month old. Next Stop--X-ray Room
This was the sad part. They inserted a catheter, and filled her bladder with water. Then they took a real-time X-ray to make sure the water didn't reflux from the bladder back into her kidneys. It didn't.
(Yes, it was chilly enough on Friday morning for me to sport my velour jumpsuit for the first time this season, btw.)
Jeremy modeling the beautiful, purple radiology apron. Awesome.

How cute is she in her Raggedy Ann gown? We had to wait for her to empty her bladder before we could leave. It took her awhile. She got pee-shy.

so glad everything is ok...I know what you mean. Addison had to go through all that yucky catheter stuff a few months ago and it was not fun. Lucy was such a great sport though!
