This is what is wrong with Scarlet's kidneys. One side tried to form 2 kidneys and then they fused created one malformed kidney. The larger ureter dropped down too low into her bladder and covered the exit, resulting in urine back up. The larger ureter and the top portion of the malformation will have to be surgically removed in 2 years. Bad news is: if we had another child, it has a 50% chance of having the same thing wrong. Bleak out look!!
She's getting so much bigger! She weighed 8lbs 5oz at the urologists yesterday!! We couldn't believe it! She still looks so skinny with her chicken legs and arms. I guess at 2 months it's about time she fit into Newborn clothes! You can kind of see where her IV went into her hand yesterday. It took them an hour and 15 minutes to finally get it in. They tried in both feet and both hands twice before it stuck. She screamed the ENTIRE time. The test was successful and we won't have to do it again for a year.
The corn was too hot for Ella to hold. So Daddy was her cob holder!
When he got tired of it, she improvised!!

Things that go wrong are never fun. I am glad that Miss Scarlet is home with you for snuggles and lovin' and that you have amazing doctors... and that you survived the crazy. What I mean by that is I know what its like to have a child that requires surgery... and it is hard to trust anyone with your child.
Thanks for the update!
