What a day for "DK"



Dakota's Wednesday started off with trip to Valley Children's Hospital. She had, what we've been praying to be her last Ultrasound and Cystogram procedure. She has Vesicoureteral Reflux. This is when some of her urine goes back up into the ureters and possibly up to the kidneys which can lead to infection. We've been keeping a watch on this for the last 3 yrs. when she had one UTI at about one and a half years old. She did AWESOME to say the least. She had to have a cathedar and was so brave. The Dr's. in their Imaging Department are great! From what they could tell me they didn't see anything leading us to believe she has outgrown it. We'll know for sure at her follow-up appt. in July.
So that leads us to her next "appointment". We told her after her procedure we would go get her ears pierced. She was more than ecstatic! They pierced them and as Ramon would say "she took it like a champ!" She makes sure to remind me when we need to clean them and how many times.
Lastly, that night she had her AWANAS ceremony. She went up and received her certificate and they had a celebration for her Cubbies class.
We are beyond proud of her. She's growing up so fast we can't believe it!
