Micturating Cystogram (MCU in short)

Scheduled on the 17th December 2007 1600hr at KKH Diagnostic Imaging Department

We missed the last one in 14th Aug coz Jere was having a flu then.

Just in case you are wondering again what's MCU, it's all about passing a fine tube through the urethra (the hole thru which urine is passed) with a special solution running slowly thru the fine tube into the bladder. X rays films are taken by the radiologist during and after the procedure. This is to assess the progress as Jere was diagnosed with neurogenic bladder at birth.

I know it's not gonna be as easy as it sounds as Jere will be strapped down in this weird "space craft" looking thing on top of inserting a tube through "there" and this would definitly call up any fear in anyone. Who likes to be restrained and it certainly feels claustrophobic to be strapped onto that kinda craft?

Please pray that God be with Jeremiah and take away all the discomfort and fear in him and all the test shows good results. Please also pray for strength in me that I may be able to be strong throughout the procedure. Amen.
