Robbie's Bladder Test Results


This was Robbie this morning when we took him for his tests at Arnold Palmer. He had a fairly high fever and was shaking bad but still trying to watch the Mickey Mouse Club House :)  He had 2 tests done, a renal sonogram and a vcug (look it up if you want to know).  He did awful in the sonogram, cried and cried but did a bit better in the vcug.  Fortunately due to the high fever they called in the radiologist to check the results right away (instead of waiting a week) and he called the Dr and gave him the results verbally. So we went directly to the Dr from there. 


This is how he looked waiting for the Dr. After the tests he just kept sleeping anytime I held him.  The great news is that Robbie's bladder and kidneys and all the connectors are fine!  Also the type of bacteria in his bladder that keeps showing up as a uti is typically one that does not cause problems and does not need to be addressed.  However he was running a high fever and would not eat or drink. A quick check revealed flaming red tonsils. Tonsillitis. That's the bad news, but that is news I can live with. So he is now on antibiotics in case it is bacterial. He will have to stay away from everyone for a few days and we will be washing our hands like crazy and trying to keep Henry away from him.  

Thanks for all the prayers!  Now just pray he gets better fast and that the rest of us do not get it!!!
