Re: Lorraine and VUR (kidney reflux) -OT

[Guest guest]

I had kidney reflux as a kid! I didn't know it was hereditary until

(from this board!) told me so. Both her girls have it.

Anyhow, I did the same thing you did. I freaked out and did all

kinds of research online. I haven't thought about it since I had

surgery at 9. I got myself all worked up. Both kids got

ultrasounds a couple of weeks ago. Everything is fine. I was a

borderline wreck before that!

The internet is great for a lot of things, but it can make you

incredibly paranoid!
