Concerned about Lolo

Lolo peed in her pants twice today and is telling us that it hurts to pee. We are very concerned about her getting another urinary tract infection (UTI). We have scheduled a voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) where she is catheterized and x-rays are taken as she urinates in order to determine if she has vesicoureteral reflux which is a condition where the urine ascends the ureters to the kidneys. This can be a very serious condition which can led to surgery to reattach the ureters to the bladder.

We are really hoping that she doesn't have a UTI or especially we hope she doesn't have reflux. It would be very difficult to watch her to have to go through surgery.
