Since my appt was at Phoenix Childrens Hospital today, we stopped at Dr. Moss' office (neurosurgery) to say "hi" to Mary, then we went one building over to see my urologist, Dr. Ritchey. We got to see his assistant, Laree...she is about to pop with baby #4...at least it's a girl this time. Sadie did my urodynamics test and Mommy could tell by Laree's expression that things weren't good.
To be honest...my last test wasn't so hot either. My kidneys still looked good in the ultrasound they did in February, and that is kind of the objective, to keep my kidneys clear and free of urine reflux from the bladder and ureters. So, with having said that, this uro test did not show any improvement in my bladder pressure and its ability to hold the urine before leaking. (Like I said in my previous post a few days ago...it's opposite of what you think it should be. Get it???) At this time, Dr. Ritchey did not want to change anything as far as my medicine is concerned but he does want Mommy to start cathing me at night while I'm sleeping.
Dr. Ritchey has ordered a renal ultrasound for September and if things look good, he will reorder the uro test in another 6 months. If things do not improve by that time, Mommy, Daddy and the Dr. might have to talk about surgery options. :-(
