Finnian's Journey: Kidney Reflux

"Y'all - don't miss it. Don't get so caught up in what your sweet baby is doing or not doing. Don't obsess about this step or the next step or the one after that or what is going to happen twenty years down the line. Because one day you'll look at baby pictures and think about how adorable that baby was and how all you can remember is therapy and you can't even remember what her hair smelled like.

So, ENJOY your baby. It doesn't matter when they walk or crawl or talk. It matters that they are here and that you love them and that they know it.

Just don't miss it."

Kidney Reflux

This is not for me, but for a friend who has a young daughter who was just diagnosed with kidney reflux. My friend was sure she had seen somebody reference this in a comment to one of my posts a while back, but we can't seem to uncover the comment or the commenter. If you have experience with kidney reflux and are willing to share your experience with my friend, could you drop me an email (link in sidebar) with your contact info? Thanks!

I'm taking your offer to contact you about your friend's kid. My daughter had kidney reflux and underwent an operation to fix it after all attempts to keep her healthy without surgery failed. As a result I started to post on a blog with our experience. As well I started a Yahoo! group for parents who've undergone experiences of kidney reflux and surgery to correct it.

Here're the addresses:

Blog: Ureteral reimplantation blog
