Juliette's Appointment Last Tuesday

Last Tuesday Brady and I took Juliette down to UC Davis for some an ultrasound, VCUG test and a visit with her pediatric urologists. I was so glad Brady went with me! It took both of us to distract her during the ultrasound (she was a wriggle worm) and they didn't want me there while they did the x-ray, so he stayed with her while they inserted the catheter and took the pictures. Needless to say she didn't like that very much. :( The poor thing was pretty upset after all the poking... she didn't want me to put her down for a while.

The results are this: Dr. Kurzrock believes he can save her right kidney so she will have two but it will be a more extensive surgery so he doesn't want to do it until she's older. Jules will continue to be on antibiotics for the next 9 months and then we'll schedule her surgery. We are so happy that he thinks he can save it. What a praise! Apparently it just means he'll have to "reroute some plumbing" and maybe remove some of the dead tissue. Of course it's a lot more complicated then all of this, but I won't bore you with the details. :)

Thanks once again for all of your prayers! We are so blessed to be loved by so many.
