It sounds like Myra J. will have a busy week. On Monday, we will take her to Duke Medical Center (no, not for Lacrosse practice!! Oops, sorry--I used that same bad joke when we took Lucy for her Celiac!!) to visit with a pediatric urologist. Seems that another one of our daughters may possess a medical ailment. This time, the name is a little bigger, Neonatal Hydronephrosis, which is a dilation of the collecting part of the kidneys. You can read more about it here. On Monday, we will visit Duke Health Center once again (after Lucy's visit this past spring) to have a procedure accomplished. While pretty common and not life-threating, the procedure, called voiding cystourethrogram, (click here and look under Monitoring Your Child) it does not sound too pleasant. But this hopefully will rule out reflux, and get her off antibiotics (prescribed since birth to prevent possibly infections if it would be reflux). We will post more as we find it out!!

Sleep Well, Princess!
