Teagan had her dye test (cystourethrogram)yesterday. As usual, she was quite the trooper!!! They filled her bladder up completely full and watched it on an x-ray machine. None of the dye left the bladder, meaning she does not have Kidney reflux as they thought. The concern was that her urine was being sent back up to the kidney, causing her infection. The pediatrician was 90% sure this was the cause of her recent kidney infection......so now I am waiting for the pediatrician to receive the results of the test and call me. Since Teagan does not have Kidney reflux, I am guessing that she will not need to remain on the antibiotics for the next 6mos as originally prescribed. I never thought to ask the doctor "what if it isn't kidney reflux".....so I am wondering what would have caused such a bad infection in her kidney in the first place.
She is doing awesome,crawling all over the place. She is trying to pull up on everything in sight, but just can't quite do it yet!
Thanks to everyone for the prayers!
Update: I received a call from doc's office and Teagan is going to have to remain on the antibiotics for the next 6mos.... bummer
