She will have to go in every 3 months for a cystoscopy for the next two years. If there has been no problem after 2 years, then she will have to go in once a year. She recovered pretty well; there was some bleeding for the first 3 or 4 days but not much pain. We did get a bit of a scare this afternoon; there was blood in her urine (enough to turn it the color of merlot wine) and a clot about the size of a quarter. She said there was no pain. I tried calling the urologist, as well as her primary doc to ask if this was a cause for concern, but was unable to reach either. Then I remembered my older daughter is "the queen of poop and pee" (she's a nurse supervisor in Mayo's urology program). She told me it most likely was fine -- probably just a bit of tissue sluffing off -- but to call the doctor if it gets worse or painful. There was some blood at bedtime, but much less color and volume. She's little but she's tough!
