Dillon's testing

Dillon went to Primary Children's Medical Center for follow up testing. When we went back in December, after his surgery they were a little concerned that his right kidney was very dilated. However, now, although it is still somewhat dilated, they aren't worried about it. The reflux in his kidney appears to be gone! Yay! There was a chance that the surgery just wouldn't work for him, but it seems to have been fixed. He had to do his whole VCUG testing and the ultrasounds again, to determine if the reflux is gone. The radiologist couldn't believe how brave he was. He said, "I have had grown men, and much older boys than you crying because of the pain". He was so good! Dillon talked his ear off and asked LOTS of questions. I think that trait of always talking and asking questions helps him out in situations like this, where he needs to be distracted. Now, we don't have to go back until next year- so we are all pretty happy about that too.
