Melamine, Ultrasounds, and Baby Malcom

I'm sure most of you heard the news reports a few months back about melamine being found in baby formula in China. Because of this, adoptive parents are being advised to talk to their pediatricians about having their children tested in case they were exposed to this. After doing our research and talking with our pediatrician, we decided to move forward and have the testing done. So far, all has been clear, except for one small glitch in the urinalysis, which our doctor thinks is due to her just getting over a virus at the time the test was done. Mary Joyce had a renal ultrasound done yesterday where they looked at her kidneys and bladder, and she was SUCH a big girl about the whole thing! Now, we are just waiting on the results, which we should have by the end of the week.

The funny moment...

The tech started the ultrasound, and when Mary Joyce saw the picture of her kidney on the screen, she said, "It's Baby Malcom!" Uh--not exactly, but we got a good laugh out of it!

She is such a hoot! And I'm glad y'all got through the tests... now to wait for the results.

She is funny!

We just had Ting Ting tested, too. Actually, she was asymptomatic, so the doctor ordered a urinalysis and blood panel first, and nothing showed up as out of the ordinary. It was a big relief.
