It was a long week for Vann. On Monday, we had to take him in to get a follow-up ultrasound of his kidneys and a VCUG (a catheter is put in him and they pump fluid in him until his bladder is full, they then can see if he has reflux in his kidneys). It was horrible for Jeff and I to see him go through it. Met with the Urologist on Thursday and he still has reflux and she really wants to get him off of the antibiotics he has been taking since he was born to prevent UTI's. So, he will be going in on April 6th for surgery. They will put a scope in him and do these injections on his side since he has bilateral reflux. The point of these injections are to hopefully create a seal so he will no longer have any more reflux. We will then get him tested in August to see if the surgery worked. Keep your fingers crossed!
