so, remember how baby sister has big kidneys?  our doc said that since she is perfectly healthy, she would just need more ultrasounds until she grows into her kidneys.  but the specialist at stanford children’s hospital wanted to do a VCUG study on her, just to be extra sure that nothing is wrong.

so today, baby sister woke up extra early to go to stanford hospital.  first, they made her change out of her clothes and put on the world’s smallest hospital gown.  it was made out of warm cozy flannel, and it had cute animals on it, but she didn’t like it.  who would like wearing an outfit that makes your butt stick out of the back?

after she put on her gown, she was x-rayed, and then she went into another room for the VCUG.  they told her that they were going to put dye in her bladder and then wait for her to pee it out.  through a magic monitor, they would watch to see if her pee was coming out of her or going back up into her kidneys.  not so bad, right?

well, it took the doctors 3 tries to insert the catheter into baby sister.  she was screaming the whole time   waiting for the pee to come out is usually what takes the longest, but baby sister must have wanted to get outta there because she peed right away.

baby sister’s bones look perfect, and her pee is going where it’s supposed to.  so our doc was right all along — she just needs to get more ultrasounds until she grows into her kidneys.  so baby sister went through that whole ordeal for nothing.  those darn stanfurd people!
