Update on Caelum

This is a picture of Caelum showing how it is hard work waiting on the doctor!!

Today Caelum had his 3 month follow-up appointment with the Urologist. We first went for his ultrasound of his kidneys and thankfully they did not do the VCUG (the invasive test) just the renal ultrasound. Then we went upstairs to see the Urologist. Caelum weighed in at 12.7 pounds (with his clothes on.) He is getting big oh so fast...but I sure hope so, as the boy loves to eat!
After the doctor reviewed his first Ultrasounds and VCUG from when he was 48 hours he discovered that his right kidney was still dilated some but no change since his first Ultrasound. They grade the reflux and on the first US he had a 1 out 4 and is still a 1 out of 4. However, his left kidney has dilated more and was at first a 1 out of 4 but is now a 3 out of 4. The doctor seemed a bit perplexed as to why it is happening because of the VCUG results on his first test versus his Ultrasound test today. I can explain it better with a picture - so sorry if this is not making sense??
He is thinking it could either be reflux or an obstruction on his left kidney. Caelum will continue his antibiotics as a prophylactic measure and we will go back in 3 months for Ultrasounds to see if it has corrected on its on. He said he is pretty sure the right kidney reflux will correct on its own, but we will have to see what the left kidney will do. If at the next appointment things have not changed or become worst then he will order a renal scan to see if there is an obstruction and then we will go from there.
