Well, this upcoming Monday Ty has a follow-up appointment with his urologist from Children's Mercy. They are going to do another ultra-sound on his bladder/kidney area. He has what's called "Bladder Reflux." Basically, when he goes to the bathroom and the urine leaves his bladder....some of the urine doesn't expel like it should and it goes back up into his bladder. This causes bladder infections (which is very uncommon for little boys). The long term effect is kidney damage. The doctor is hoping that Ty will have "grown out of it" by now....which is why we are having the test done again to see if it's gotten any better. Ty is scared to death of doctors.....so I am NOT looking forward to this visit.
Keep us in your prayers......cause Ty's mommy doesn't do well at the doctor's office either when Ty gets really upset. It totally stresses me out. But I am going to keep my thoughts on a family I know who's 5 month old just had heart surgery yesterday. Baby Slayton is doing really well post-surgery today. The strength this family has is remarkable. Please keep them in your prayers as well. What a fighter!!!
