Oh the indiggity...
Jun. 17th, 2009 12:59 pmPoor Merlin had to go for an ultrasound today to check his bladder & kidneys... which meant they had to shave him:
At least he'll be a bit cooler this summer.
He was very good through the whole thing.
Good news is that he doesn't have stones in his bladder although there is quite a bit of "debris". The urine sample they drew directly from his bladder was yellow not pink. Although she'll know more once the urine analysis comes back the Dr. thinks that the crystals in his urine are irritating his urethra causing the pink when he pees... apparently this is more of a problem with boys because their urethra is longer & has a bend in it that tends to cause stuff to collect there.
He has spent almost the whole time since the appointment washing himself clean of the ultrasound gel.
