Have you heard getting older is the pits?

I am pretty sure Sam has decided that 5 months isn't so great. We started it out with trying oatmeal cereal for the first time because the whole 5:45 am wake up is not treating us so well...

As you can see, she wasn't super impressed by the stuff. I made chris taste it and he agreed that it tasted like cardboard.

To make things even more exciting, Sam had to get a VCUG (voiding cystourethrogram) done yesterday because she has had 2 UTI's already (one when she was 5 weeks and then another one a few weeks ago). They basically inserted a catheter and filled her bladder up with contrast and then waited for her to pee so they could see if her urine is refluxing back into her ureters and kidneys when she pees. It wasn't as bad as I anticipated. I have had several patients who have had it done and hadn't heard great things so I was anticipating screaming. She did cry, but it was all over in like 15 minutes. The conclusion was that she does indeed have reflux on both sides. They grade it on a 1-5 scale and she is grade 3. She now gets to enjoy a daily dose of yummy pink berry elixir and yearly VCUGs in hopes that she out grows it by the time she is 5 or 6 so she doesn't have to have surgery. I am starting to think that Chris has cursed us. First me with kidney stones and now Sam with this. Good thing he isn't becoming a cardiologist or oncologist or psychiatrist right?
