No worries a trip to TCH sounds scarier than what it really was. Kennedy was diagnosed with (urinary) vesicoureteral reflux last July which means that upon voiding some urine would back up to her ureters and possibly to her kidneys instead of making the normal exit. So...what this means is she had a UTI and because she had it around age of two they took some cultures and did a voiding cystourethogram. Last year we did it without a sedative and somehow I forgot I was pregnant with Jaxon and could not be with Kennedy during the procedure. This year Jeremy and I went together, Kennedy got a sedative to ease everything during the catheterization, and had a big ice cream to make it better afterwards. The nurse bragged on her until afterwards.....:) she said most kids are either really happy or tired from the sedative....Kennedy was outright mad and quite combative I might say. The poor parents walking in probably thought it might have been better to forget the sedative. She did return back to her normal sweet self after a nap home and ice cream. The test results were positive and her reflux is now gone----so no more daily antibotics for another year!!
This makes it all better 
Looking a little drugged from the meds and about to loose that ice cream!
what a cutie, glad all is well!
