When I was pregnant, doctors discovered Parker had issues with what they thought would be his bladder. They followed it closely through ultrasound. When he was born, they took him away and performed tests that showed that they had misdiagnosed him. Instead of a bladder problem, he had a kidney condition known as vesicoureteral reflux. Grade V-vesicoureteral reflux. Too much to explain here(you can google it if you like)but the point is he was placed on a low dose of amoxicillin. He has been taking it since the day he was born. Well, last week the doctors told us that we could stop giving it to him. He still has the same condition and it hasnt gotten better but it hasnt gotten worse. So now we just go about life as normal and pray that he doesn't develop any infections! No infections, means no need for treatment or surgery. Just check in with the specialist every 6 months. YEA!!!!
It is possible that although he has the highest grade of this reflux, he may never have a problem in his life.
God answers prayers!!
