Update on Henry

Henry is doing well and is slowly getting back into his routine after a few hiccups.  Who can blame him for being a little out of sorts?  We returned to the Dr. today to follow-up.  No results yet from the renal ultrasound, but I expect it will be normal. Our Dr. is recommending that we have the VCUG test done.  "A children's voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) is an x-ray examination of a child's bladder and lower urinary tract that uses a special form of x-ray called fluoroscopy and a contrast material." Ugh.  I was hoping to avoid it, but I understand it's important to be cautious considering his age.  We scheduled the test for next Monday.  He is taking antibiotics in case he does have a UTI, and we want to have the test done while he's on the medicine in case more bacteria accidently gets introduced as a result of the procedure.  I still feel pretty sure this whole thing is related to the virus and nothing more serious, but I trust the Dr. and he feels it's the right thing to do.  So, there you have it.

We're all still a little tired and the house is a mess, but otherwise, things are going well.  After seeing some truly sick children at the hospital, I feel blessed that we are all in relatively good health.
