Krysta update

We went to the Dr today (the urologist). We got some good news: no kidney damage and no surgery (yet). We're going to put her on low-dose antibiotics for a couple of months, during which we're hoping that she either grows out of this or it just goes away with the absent infections. Either one is a good possibility, the doctor said. We have our next appt in April, when they'll do another kidney scan to see if everything is alright. If it is, then no more antibiotics. If not, then we'll decide then what to do. She could be on antibiotics for up to a year. Hopefully not. We're also supposed to bring in a urine sample every month for the next three months. So that means we either have to take her in for a catheter once a month, or we potty-train her. I'm a little worried about potty training her (with everything she's already gone through), but that seems least-painful option (for her, anyway :)) So wish us luck with the potty training!
Other than that, she's doing fine now. She doesn't complain of pain anymore. Her cold is even gone this week. If she gets any kind of a fever, we're supposed to take her in immediately. He said there's still a possibility of a kidney infection (but a very small possibility) even with the antibiotics.

We're all doing great. Scott got an "Outstanding" in his performance appraisal at work last week. Nobody at his work got an "outstanding" last year, so this is pretty amazing. We went out to dinner to celebrate his success. This was the first time in YEARS we've gone out to eat as a family-and the kids loved it AND they ate their food!
