One brave little girl...

This morning as many of you know we had to take Paige to Childrens Memorial Hospital for some testing, including her first ultrasound, which she thought was pretty cool, and sadly a Voiding cystourethrogram, which didn't go as well. Thankfully Daylan was able to take the day off and we were able to drop Taylor off at Karyn's so we were both there for Paige and at times she needed it. Let me just say that the staff at CMH are amazing. They even had a dvd player for her and she got to pick out whatever movie she wanted. Long story short, we were able to see in the screen that Paige does indeed have reflux, which apon reading when I got home is hereditary and with my kidney issues, it makes since now. The official term of this is Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR), I will spare you the gross details on here, but you can find all the information on it at webmd. http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/tc/vesicoureteral-reflux-vur-topic-overview On the way out of the hospital they once again made Paige happy by letting her choose out of a large wagon of stuffed toys...of all the down right awesome things to choose from Paige chose the green m&m girl.
After that ordeal was over, we took Taylor up to Northwestern University for and Childhood Development study for them, and yes those girls are amazing as well. Then after driving around for a while we finally found a DQ where Paige wanted to go for lunch and ice cream...YUM-O!
I must say that I am very proud of how well Paige did, and while things were shakey at moments, she was a real trooper. Now we'll just wait and see was Dr. Luu says on Tuesday when she gets back in the office and looks over all the pictures.
