So... I forgot to tell you that we had the Upper GI appointment and the Ultrasound for Addison. It was last week on the 12th.. my birthday. :) We spent 6 hours at the childrens hospital. It was nice to have just Addison all to myself... does that count as quality time at the hospital??? :) Make the best with what we got, right! So Addison did great.. I didn't expect much less. These sort of things don't seem to bother her at all. Like filling 6 vials of blood without a peep. For the ultrasound she laid still and did great, which lasted about 20 minutes. The upper GI took the rest of the time. I had no idea what to expect. She did great for each procedure. Basically she had to drink a special drink that she didn't like... but drank it anyway. And they do a series of x-rays to watch how the drink goes from your throat to your stomach and they had to see it reach her large intestine. Everyone is different so there is no telling how long it could take. They would take an x-ray and say we've gotta wait. Each wait time was about 30 minutes and they did 5 sets of x-rays. Yeah that was a fun day! LOL So anywho... I had to wait atleast 4 business days to get the results. I just got them this morning. The result is the blood work is normal, the upper GI is normal. The ultrasound showed that there is a problem with her kidney, her right kidney. The tube that is connected to the kidney, the ureter isn't draining urine properly. So we have to go see a urologist. I've already made the appointment and it is May 10. Why on earth do we have to wait so long to see specialist? That is all the information that I have. I'm sure we will learn a whole lot more from the urologist. I'll keep you updated!
Oh and Addy got an icecream for being so good at the hospital!
