Post surgery ultrasound

Kaylee had her post surgery follow-up today after playgroup. A sweet friend watched Regan for me so I didn’t have to wrangle him. It made a world of difference.

Kaylee drank 20 oz of water for the ultrasound. Her bladder was FULL. She peed right before we got called back so I was worried that the tech wouldn’t get good readings. I had her guzzle more water just minutes before she got called back.

I think the tech Nancy was concerned about it too since she mentioned Kaylee having just voided her bladder, but we didn’t need to be. Her bladder was already SO full again.

Nancy, “Wow. I am surprised at how full her bladder is. It’s huge! She just peed right?”

She had to pee again half way through. They needed her to for measurements, and she HAD to go again.

I love that she is so happy and relaxed for her ultrasounds now. It just makes life nicer.

“It’s not scary or ouchy Mom. It just tickles!”

While we waited for Dr. R. Kaylee decided to give Lamby a check up.

She thought that it was too funny.

Her deflux procedure looked good on the ultrasound, BUT she’s been just this week having UTI symptoms, and her urine had white blood cells in it. So it’s being shipped off to the lab. And while we wait for results she is getting a double dose of her daily antibiotics.

Dr. R. also mention she had some “pooling” of fluids, but that it was nothing to worry about and was common in people with extra tubes like Kaylee has. It was more of a FYI sort of deal. So it’s getting jotted down lest I forget.

Her Dr. asked her how she was doing.

“I doing good. I just have anodder UTI.” Just so matter of fact like.

Dr.,”WOW. You are really smart.” There was high fiving and fist pounding.

Ya. We think she’s pretty smart too.

Oh, and she peed again right before we left. Three times in one hour! And it was quite a lot each time. I swear by the last one you could have bottled what was coming out of her! Crystal clear. If I hadn’t been in the bathroom with her I wouldn’t have believed she actually went!
