aarrrggghhh talk about short notice!!
The postman came about an hour ago with an appt for Archie's kidney tests TODAY at 2pm.
Typical I've got Tom off nursery as he is unwell so I've got to take him to my sisters (to spread germs) and go by myself as oh is at work. The hospital is a good hour away and there's never any parking so have to allow plenty of time hence have to go soon. Am soooo tired as Tom coughed and spluttered all night, am bf'ing Archie with difficulty and really could do without this today.....
Will hopefully find out whether his kidneys are working enough though !
Will update later- sorry for the moan.......

Dreading it as he'll need a catheter and IV access so is going to be really upset and I'll be on my own which I hate !!!!
Have just put pram in the car and leaving now.
They put a catheter in (secured to his winky with tape-ouch) did a scan then filled his bladder with dye and watched it empty x2. They didn't do the mag (mac?) test so no clearer on kidney function but they found his right kidney is still smaller than it should be (the left is missing altogether), the bladder is mishapen (don't know why or if serious) but there isn't reflux so they don't know why the ureters are enlarged.
Have to wait now for another appt- hope they give me more notice!!!
