prayers please

please keep eleanor in your prayers today.
we are headed to children's medical for a procedure at 12:30.
last month she had a bladdar infection which apparently is pretty unusual for a 6 month old.
today they want to do a sonogram & a VCUG on her & see if they can find out what caused it.
to the best of my knowledge, i know a VCUG involves a catheter and pumping her with a liquid dye to see if it refluxes back in her kidneys. hopefully it doesn't.
but if it does, then i think that means she has a kink in her tubes that she will eventually grow out of but until then will need to be on medicine.
this could be anywhere from months to a few years.
we are hoping that it was a random thing that just happened & that she doesn't have to be on meds for years to come.
also i know this shouldn't be a painful procedure but it will obviously be uncomfortable for a 7 month old to go through.
the doctors already told me i am the one that gets to "hold her down".
doesn't that sound fun.

i will keep you all posted.
thanks in advance for your prayers.
xoxo
