Sophie update

Thanks so much to everyone who has been praying for Sophie.

The good part: Sophie DOES NOT have reflux in her kidneys so the test went fine. Nothing was abnormal.

The bad part: It was awful. I am emotionally drained from this experience.

She screamed louder than I have ever heard her scream. She cried. She wanted it to be "all done". She wanted to get down. She was pitiful. And there was nothing I could do about it. She was so scared and it broke my heart.

After they filled her bladder with dye, the doctor needed her to go peepee on the table so they could determine if there was any reflux going on with her kidneys. She didn't want to. We told her we would be all done if she would just go peepee. The nurse then had to pour 4-5 glasses of warm water on her to make her go potty. Eventually she did. Even though we were only there about 15 minutes, it was the longest 15 minutes of my life. Whoever said parenting isn't for cowards wasn't kidding. But then when they said "all done", she said, "Thank you. Thank you nice lady. Thank you, Doctor. I did it. All done." That's my girl.

The only thing we are waiting on now is for the culture to come back on her urine to make sure the UTI is gone. I'll have to talk to the doctor but we shouldn't have to go see the urologist next month.

Thanks again for your prayers. You have no idea how much I appreciate them!
