The procedure consisted of a catheter being inserted into Jake's left kidney, and a special fluid filled his bladder. The doctor watched the fluid via x-ray to see if Jake had reflux. Babies aren't familiar with the sensation of having to pee, so when Jake's bladder was completely full, he began to get fussy (so full in fact, that I asked the doctor if it was going to explode - the answer was 'no' by the way, because Jake was in control of his bladder and nature will call eventually). Once he peed, the doctor was able to determine if he has reflux or not.... and he does not :)
So now we have to go back to the diagnostics center for another ultrasound so that the urologist can decide on what is causing the fluid in his kidney's. Who knows, at this point, fluid may not even be there anymore!
Below is a super cute picture of Jake in the tiniest hospital gown I have ever seen... I would never like to see him in it ever again, but he was SO cute in it!!!!!!
