Tests after urine infection in a baby.

[BethAndHerBrood]

I've just got back from a out-patient appt with DS2, 11 weeks.
Apparently, because he had a urine infection when he was poorly with pyloric stenosis a few weeks ago, he has to undergo a load of tests on his kidneys now.
1)A scan of his kidneys
2)Have a catheter inserted and dye put in to see if the valves work
3)Have dye injected into his bloodstream to see if there is scarring on his kidneys. (in about 6 months)

I just feel completely overwhelmed by it all. Went expecting to be told "oh, he's fine, we don't need to see you again". Instead, he has to have all this stuff done, and I feel like I've failed him. He's already had a week in hospital and an operation. He's so little to be going through all this. Sorry, rambling now, and crying all over the keyboard.

It's official - I'm pathetic

Thanks Bethron, feel a bit better now.
I just wish they could do the stuff to me instead of him, IYKWIM?

dd had to have these at 4 months following a UTI on the back of bronchiolitis. It wasn't pleasant to watch but dd was blissfully unaware and we got the all clear. Really it is nothing you could have prevented and hopefully it will enable the doctors to rule potential underlying problems out. Fingers crossed for you.
