Medical update

It is as I suspected: Bennett's UTI was just a fluke. He caught it in the NICU. No valve issues at all. I want to scrunch up my face and be all cynical about this. Be all "hospitals are for sick people! See! This is why I wanted to birth in a birthing center!" But you know.... better a fluke than a valve issue.

B had a follow up ultrasound this morning that showed his kidneys and bladder in perfect working condition. No need for a far more invasive VCUG test (in which dye is inserted up through the penis to watch his urine flow) and we can stop giving him the antibiotics. Yay!

Yes! And so is Bennett! We already called about hotel rooms. Do you want to share a room with us?

If possible, that would be awesome!

Sweet! It's completely possible.

(That icon is gorgeous)

Woot! I am so looking forward to it.

(Isn't it? It's like my happy place. When I am having a bad day, I picture myself inside that icon. Someday I will go on one of those badass sailing adventures.)
