Katelyn at Primary Children's Hospital

Today Katelyn had surgery at Primary Children's Hosptial in Salt Lake. She has had reoccuring bladder infections since she was a baby and doctors haven't been able to figure out why. After many tests, countless bladder infections and 2 kidney infections doctors are unable to find the source of the problem. Today she underwent a brand new procedure to see if she had "reflux". She has all the symptoms of it, but tests have always come back negative. Today this procedure ALSO came back negative for "reflux." This is bitter-sweet because we still don't know how to fix her problems. At least now we know what it's NOT. But she is doing great and we are anxious to help her make some changes at home to hopefully make her better!
Katelyn in her hospital scrubs waiting her turn. Everyone at Primary's was so great and friendly!
Josh and Katelyn playing Nintendo in the waiting room. Josh was all too happy to help her keep her mind off of things!
Grandma Evans came from CA to surprise us all to be with Katelyn. We were so happy to have her there!
Mom and dad with Katelyn in her recovery room after the procedure. She was a little "loopy" for awhile but snapped out of it real quick!
Here she is wheeled out to the car ready to go with her orange slushy in hand and bucket incase she got sick on the ride home. (Glad she rode home in Grandma's car! :))
