Myologist? No Urologist!

So it's getting harder to come up with boring titles, and nearly impossible to come up with witty ones. Therefore you get horridly bad ones.

We visited the baby's urologist today. Don't ask me to pronounce her name because I cannot. Basically what she said is the same thing they said before. He as a little tad bit of kidney reflux (urine going from the bladder to the kidneys instead of the other way around). So in order to prevent infection he's on antibiotics for the next several months.

At about 3 months they'll want to do another ultrasound. She says that he'll just grow out of this. It is hereditary in some sort, so either Eric or I probably had this, but never knew about it. We just have to watch out for bladder/kidney infections.

Too many kidney infections can lead to high blood pressure, and let's face it, he doesn't need that.

Other than that, the appointment left me wondering why I left the house before 7am to get to it. Caleb was apparently wondering as well as he urinated all over their exam table to show them that he did, indeed, have excellent kidney function.
