One Less Doctor

Today was my long awaited renal ultrasound and urologist visit for my horseshoe kidney. That was the very first "difference" Mommy and Daddy learned about when I was baking in her belly. They remember being just so devastated about it, and now it's like no big deal compared to everything else! Mommy says its funny how things change like that. Anyway, in case you don't remember, I have two kidneys and they have always functioned normally. I had a bunch of different tests done when I was a baby to be sure. My kidneys are different though, because they are stuck together at the top, so they make a horseshoe shape.

I had one more renal ultrasound today for final check up. It took a while to get the ultrasound completed, because Mommy and two nurses were holding me down while another did the ultrasound. I was kicking and screaming the whole time! Yanking on the cords and everything. Mommy warned them that when we were done they better let go and step back quickly. Good thing for them she did, because I sat up hitting, swinging, and scratching! But after all that, the doctor said that everything looked good! So now that I am a big girl and I still haven't had any problems, I don't have to go back to the urologist anymore! One specialist down, eight more to go!
