Scarlett went in for tests on her bladder and kidneys on Wednesday. They weren’t too bad, and she was a real trooper! The Radiologist gave us his diagnosis while we were there, so we did not have to wait. Basically, Scarlett has kidney reflux. This website gives pretty good information on it:

Luckily, she has a mild case, but it is on both sides. I finally spoke to our Pediatrician about everything a little while ago. We are now moving to a mode of prevention. She will have to be on a low dose of antibiotics everyday for the next year. They will then perform the same tests that she had on Wednesday. Hopefully it will have cleared up or be greatly improved.
Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. We are very thankful that it is only a mild case and pray that it will clear up by the time she is tested again.
