(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/jdawg2112/maxhopkins.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s story has a happy ending: Max has been cleared of any concern for his right kidney, hydronephrosis<\/a>, or vesicoureteral reflux<\/a>. As we detailed in some of our earlier posts, (see here<\/a> and here<\/a>) one of Max\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s routine prenatal ultrasounds yielded a measurement that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153may be\u00e2\u20ac\u009d something that requires future observation.\u00c2\u00a0All is resolved\u00c2\u00a0now that we have discussed this with our Obstetrician, Pediatrician\/Primary Care Doc, a Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist, and a Child Urology Specialist. The long story short is that his kidney is fine and that we have likely had him on Amoxicillin<\/a> since birth for no reason other than to participate in some defensive medicine<\/a>. Max didn’t seem to mind as he enjoyed his am and pm “strawberry milkshakes.”<\/p>\n The first of his tests\u00c2\u00a0Monday was another ultrasound, which was fairly noninvasive and showed two very normal and healthy kidneys. The next was a very invasive Voiding Cystourethrogram<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(which was painful physically for Max and emotionally for his parents.) The results of this test, in which a catheter is inserted into the penis and fed into the bladder to inject a dye read by an X ray machine, was that Max had no signs or symptoms of vesicoureteral reflux<\/a>. All good results, but\u00c2\u00a0 it was a very difficult experience\u00c2\u00a0to hold a child down while he is poked and prodded on a cold radiology machine. It was amazing, however, to see the X-rays of Max and how every little part of his tiny human body worked in coordiantion with each other.<\/p>\n
