Today Maggie had a long day ahead of her. We started our day off w/ Ms. Connie & Occupational Therapy. Maggie did so good today & really tolerated a lot. She did awesome on tummy time & even layed on Noah's new bouncy ball.From there we headed to Phoenix Children's Hospital were Maggie was given a VCUG. It's kind of like a dye test to see if her kidney's are still refluxing. Maggie looked so cute in her hospital gown & as always was such a trooper. I am always so amazed at how strong & easy going she is. She cried a little but after about 10 minutes she was back to her totally "chill" self. I love that girl so much & am proud to be her mommy! From there we headed to Dr. Argueso's (Urologist) office for an ultrasound of her kidney's & bladder & discuss the results of both tests. Unfortunately my baby does need surgery. Dr. Argueso said that he had hoped she would have out-grown the reflux but she hasn't. Luckily we are going to do the closed surgery first which means no cutting. It's an hour procedure where they enter her Urethra. 2 months post surgery we will go back for another VCUG & ultrasound & if things have not gotten better then we need to do the open surgery. This is not ideal because they have to cut her tummy & there is quite a long recovery process. We'll be praying as a family that Maggie will do well w/ this first surgery. God has yet to let us down. Thank You Jesus!
