Drew's doctor called yesterday to let us know that the results of his VCUG were in. The VCUG is basically a picture of his renal system to see if there are any abnormalities. The test showed that a small amount of urine is refluxing back into the ureter close to where it meets the bladder. The doctor is referring him to a pediatric urologist but basically it is something that most kids outgrow by the time they are school age. Probably he will have to be on antibiotics to prevent a future urinary tract infection and then be tested yearly to see if the problem has resolved itself.
His colic seems to be getting a little worse but we are holding out hope that it will start getting better after six weeks which is what my baby books claim. He is starting to seem more interested in the world around him and loves looking at black and white pictures.
