The Immobilizing board I was writing about yesterday. Dylan went through his VCUG yesterday, and our memories were refreshed as to how he was strapped into this Papoose board, then flipped from side to side as x-rays were taken of his kidneys (left and right) and bladder. All throughout, he had a catheter inserted into him, then filled with riduculous amounts of fluid so they could "void" it and see whether he continues to have reflux. Good news: the reflux is minor - a grade 1 compared to the former grade 3 a year ago. The liquid only refluxes back into the right ureter and not into the kidneys. The verdict: he should soon be outgrowing his condition and will likely not have to take his daily dose of Primsol...the wonders of medicine.
