Fingers crossed she's OK, Misdee. DS had his kidney scan today (the radioactive one) and I couldn't cuddle him from 11am until 8pm

[misdee]

no idea. just got an appointment through from radio9logy. she has a growth/tag on her ear since, well before she was born really. apparently the tags can also indicate problems with the kidneys and bladder.

[hunkermunker]

The first scan DS had was an ultrasound, this one he's had today was called a DMSA examination.

Thought he'd have to be sedated, but he wasn't, thank goodness.

[misdee]

hope she isnt radioactive afterwards, would that mean she cant go to the hospital to see dh after?

[hunkermunker]

DS was requested to be on the ward for 8.30am today and I had a pile of info about the scan sent to me with the appointment letter - I'm sure you'd know if she was having the DMSA scan. Does it say ultrasound on the letter?

[misdee]

it says ultrasound, so no radiactivity

[Flossam]

No Misdee. I'd have thought it would just be the sort of scan you have when pregnant initially. As long as she dosen't have an xray where she has to have a kind of dye injected there will be no risk like that.

[hunkermunker]

I'm sure it will just be an ultrasound - they do that first, as it's non-invasive. DS loved it - he got to watch telly while people said he was a good boy The telly was his kidneys and bladder on the screen, which was a bit odd though!

Good luck with the scan, Misdee.

[misdee]

i've already seen her heart in great detail on a scan whilst i was carrying her, that was very odd.

[misdee]

she is fine!! no probs at all.
