Today Maggie had to get the Deflux procedure. Because of her kidney reflux Maggie has been on antibiotics since she was born. At a year old they did a VCUG (insert dye into bladder) to see if the reflux corrected itself & unfortunately it didn't. For this procedure they had to put Maggie out & went in w/ a scope to insert a paste to try & fix the problem. We thought the procedure would take an hour & they were out in literally like 20 minutes. Grandma Mary, Uncle Noel & Heather were there to show their support. Dr Argueso said everything went really well & all we have to do is wait. Maggie did great & woke up happy. We all were even able to go get something to eat in the cafeteria. Pretty quick & easy!
We will do another VCUG in 3 months & if it doesn't work we will have to do the full kindey surgery. I've heard that it is extremely painful & will require weeks of recovery. Here's hoping!
