Stones

My 16 year old daughter has been having gastro-intestinal issues for some time.  She has verifiable acid reflux, and has been given medication for it.  She's been complaining of pain in her upper right ribcage area.  The Dr ordered an ultrasound of her gallbladder, but did not tell us she needed to have not eaten for 6 hours before the test.  When the tech tried to see her gallbladder, he said it was constricted because it was working on digesting her food.  He asked about her medical history, and I told him she had bladder surgery when she was 4, for vesicouteral reflux.  He moved the scope to scan her kidneys, and lo and behold, she has a kidney stone on each kidney.  He said they are very small, and she should be able to pass them easily if she ups her water intake.  Now, she is gloating because I've accused her of being a hypochondriac, and she has "real issues"!  She is apparently telling everyone she might need surgery (not true, at least for the kidney stones, but she does say she likes hospitals, go figure).   She is due for another gallbladder ultrasound on Thursday.  We shall see what happens.  She is too young to have medical issues!
