I Can't Believe it!

I can't believe it. My baby girl is three today! And today of all days we are given a decision... what kind of surgery? My daughter has bladder reflux on the right side. And after talking to her Urologist today, we found out that she need ssurgery to correct it. I can't believe it. She's only three, but we need to protect her kidneys. I found out that her bladder is ginormous (Is that even a real word?) and the tube that comes down from her kidney to her bladder is not all the way in as it should be. So they have to do surgery. The first option was a scope the goes up her pee tract (the dr. actually said pee tract) and they stick something in the tube. But it only has an 80% success rate. So the second and third options were the same, they actually go in and reinsert the tube into her bladder. They both have a 98% success rate, but one is laproscopy and one is a scar like a c-section. Matt and I discussed and both felt more comfortable with them actually going in like a c-section and fixing it. That way they can actually see what's going on. They actually scheduled her surgery for June 22nd. Less than three weeks before I will be at Children's for a few days. I don't know what to think, what to do. My baby has to have surgery. I pray everyday that Matthew doesn't have any health problems. Peter had a T&A at two years, and the last thing I need is to have another child have a surgery under the age of 4! But they say this will fix her bladder and it's what she needs! So I have to just believe it!! It's telling everybody that is the hard part!

Au Revoir for now!
