After more than two years, Lucas will undergo Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) to check if he still has vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). A VCUG, or a voiding cystourethrogram, is a minimally invasive test that uses a special x-ray technology called fluoroscopy to visualize your child's urinary tract and bladder. The last time Lucas had this done, the urologist found Grade3-4 VUR. This time, we are optimistic that the reflux corrected itself and our baby will no longer need a surgery.
With this, I appeal to your kind hearts to say a little prayer for our boy, Lucas. Dear Lord, we pray for good results in the VCUG today. We also pray for minimal pain or discomfort during the procedure. We pray that the equipment will work properly and that Dr. Mike Gaston will execute the test quickly. We pray that the reflux is gone and that Lucas can be free of his prophylactic antibiotics. Amen. Mama Mary, pray for us. St. Luke, pray for us. St. Raphael, pray for us.
Hi
ReplyDeleteI was browsing through the internet and accidentally ended up with your blogspot. My baby is also diagnosed with the same conditions as yours, and I am very happy to hear that he is okay now. I've also wanted to talk to someone who has experience handling this case with their child, I hope you could be one. If you ca e-mail, I'll be very happy. rock_edstar@yahoo.com Thanks!
