Lauren had her SB Clinic in late August. It was a good experience overall. I wasn't sure what to expect.
They checked her in and measures her head circumference, weight, height, and blood pressure. She then went into a room, where we stayed for the remainder of our visit. This made it so convenient. I don't know why, but I imagined us moving to different offices to each doctor.
She saw Nephrology for her kidney and high blood pressure. The hydranephrosis (swollen kidney) was clean and clear and was looking great. Doctor is hoping that she will grow out of her blood pressure problems, but she will continue to take her medicine for it and will continue with check ups.
Her Neurosurgery doctor was glad that at the moment Lauren was doing well, but was concerned with her recent and frequent shunt malfunctions. He said that if they continued, they would probably have to consider performing another shunt revision...
Ortho doctor was pleased with the progress she was making with her clubbed foot and the left foot as well. She will continue with serial casting.
Urology said that he would perform a urodynamics test around a year old. This test will tell them how her bladder is functioning. Right now, her plan is working and emptying on its own.
I spoke with a nutritionist briefly...
We did get an opportunity to visit with two of her nurses from the parinatology office before Lauren was born. They really enjoyed getting to see her and it was nice to visit.
