Alrighty, the DMSA scan is scheduled for May 21st. We have to be there at 8am and it will be a long morning as we have to wait 2 hours after the injection for the isotope to reach the kidneys. I was able to speak with a tech and pepper her with questions about the procedure and she was very helpful. It's not going to be fun, but it's also not horrible. They numb the skin before the injection and that's the most invasive part. The rest is waiting and then laying on a table (while watching a movie or something) while they get images. And we get to be right next to her the whole time. We then follow up with out urologist on Tuesday the 27th to get the results. I just want to stress that even though this is a bummer, Gracie is doing really well. Eating, playing, happy, etc :) and I am just so thankful. We'll keep you posted!
