Urology testing

We spent 5 hours at two hospitals today getting the last of the work-ups done for CC. The doc was thrilled. He said "He has one of the best bladders I've ever seen in a Spina-bifida patient." The work up included an ultrasound, which showed that his kidneys are good too and weren't affected by the melamine-tainted milk from China. The catheterization part of the testing was no fun but CC was a trooper and so patient the whole day. Daddy took off work and my sweet friend Lisa took care of D and Z for us so that little guy could have both mommy and daddy by his side. Now CC is all squared away- he will see the ped. orthopaedist,urologist and neurosurgeon every 6 months and get an MRI once per year to make sure his cord isn't tethering as he grows. Future visits with the urologist shoud just be an ultrasound, which he loved. He was grinning and saying "tickle, tickle" as the tech moved the scanner on his belly.
