Today was hard. I knew I would have trouble with the anesthesia. Watching G go from louds scream, flailing legs and arms, a terrified look to a complete lifeless sleep was one of the hardest things I've ever seen. And I knew she wasn't in pain...but she looked at me with those big eyes...she needed my help. And if she only knew that I hurt too...and that I was doing this because I want to help her. She was very scared, but she did so well - I am so proud of her!
Grace does have vesicoureteral reflux...urine from her bladder is flowing back up into her kidneys. And while this isn't the news we hoped for...we did get some good news. Her kidneys do not show any kind of damage. We are waiting for blood test results and we have an appointment with a urologist next week. We appreciate all of your continued prayers for our sweet girl!!
On a happy note, here is Gracie in her very favorite spot...she loves to hang out in the middle of all of the pillows on our bed...
I rarely catch "the Gracie smile", but here it is...in all its glory!!

Although the news wasn't what you were hoping for, thank goodness there was no damage and can be fixed.
If you don't mind sharing...what symptoms led you to investigate this in the first place? I always wonder how things like this are caught in the early stages...
Such cute pictures too. You have a great photographic eye!!!
Glad to hear you got answers...not the best ones but answers none the less. No coincidence that was one of my prayers - there is nothing worse than enduring a "procedure" of any kind and coming away with no direction. I'll keep praying for her...and you too :)
oh, good! i'm glad to hear it went well. at least you have something to work with now! i didn't want to call and bug you to find out how it went. :0)
We will continue to pray for sweet Gracie! The pics are ADORABLE!!!
Adorable pics...and continued prayers from the Scott's!
