So I couldn't get the photo to turn on my laptop so sorry it's sideways. Lauren had some tests at Primary Children's today and this is her smiling face before the tragedy begins. She wasn't too sure about running around without panties under that gown, but we got over it quickly. She kept saying " I don't want shots, I don't want shots." I had to keep reassuring her that there were no shots; I just didn't tell her about the nice catheter she would be getting in her bladder. She wouldn't have understood much anyway. After the VCUG, she kept asking me what it was the doctor "put in her bum". She said "it felt like a shot in my bum" OHHHH! I felt soooo bad, but luckily kids are very resiliant and once her catheter was out she was just fine. She just wants to talk about her experience A LOT! Unfortunately her problems have worsened over time and we will be going in for surgery in about 3-4 weeks. I'm not sure how we are going to get that gown on her again after today. She loved getting the Bambie toy. Not so thrilled with the doll in the hospital gown. Hopefully she doesn't develop a phobia of hospital gowns!
