best Mother's Day gift. Ever.

Friday morning was Emma's vcug and the surgery worked! No sign of reflux on the x-rays at all! The beginning of the test was not great, with Emma remembering the last one and being very tense and upset, but once the catheter was in it was all coasting. We still have to get the official news from her urologist, but the results were obvious. I nearly burst into tears when the radiologist said it out loud. She will have a follow-up vcug in about a year just to be sure nothing has changed. We got home and happily poured out the rest of her antibiotics. It's over.

In other news, Ben's appointment last Monday was a good one and we were both very happy with his new opthamologist (we jumped through hoops to switch from one at Children's to another, and it was well worth it). The patching has made some improvement and he can now patch five days a week instead of seven. In three months we'll go back and check again.

I hope all of you moms out there had a wonderful day.
