Addyson and the nuclear dye

Well, first I want to say thanks to everyone who prayed for Addy yesterday as we went through all the nuclear testing. It was a scary day for her but I could tell she was comforted and she was soo brave, I was so proud of her. They put the skin numbing cream on her in 2 different spots so she would not feel the IV. Unforetunetly, they didn't even attempt to stick the IV where the numbing cream had been so she felt everything. She did good though, considering everything. When she went into the scan room several hours later she laid so still while they performed the scan. She was a little scared because it was a huge machine that resembled a CAT scan. She did not care for them moving the table into the very large (and rather intimidating) machine. I'll cut right down to the point. The wonderful news is she does NOT have any scarring on her kidney. AMEN! The bad news is the doc found that the kidney that has the reflux has an anomally. (This is about to get real anatomically technical)...Addy has 2 tubes (or ureters for those who have taken Anatomy) that go from her bladder to her kidney. The norm is to only have 1 tube. So, with this new finding of this crazy kidney she will have to have the surgery to correct the reflux. So, everyone please get on your knees now and start praying! I am nervous about this operation and it will be here soon. She is scheduled for February 18, 2 weeks from today. I know my precious baby is a child of God and she is in His hands. I take comfort that He will be by her side while I can't be during the surgery. Everyone who knows me, knows that I am somewhat of a neurotic mommy but I realize with this situation that it lies in the hands of our Heavenly Father and I trust that He will see her through this. I thank everyone in advance for the prayers and will be anxious to update my blg on February 19 and say that everything went perfect and she will now be free from UTI's.
