    Ah thanks lovely ladies for all the support. Special thanks Kerry for all the info.

    Well the short story is - no kidney damage

    The long story is....poor little bugger it took them over an hour and 5 attempts (iun 5 different spots) to put the canulla in. He has very deep and very thin veins (like everyone else in the family!). He was screaming for the entire hour they were trying (and this is a bub that rarely cries). They were even looking for veins in his head at one point and talking about giving him a GA and some gas which helps the veins pop out. Anyway we got a vein in the end and the canulla held. He had the neuclear stuff then 3 hours later was strapped into this machine for about 30 mins while it moved around and took photos. He was SOOOOOO good. Smiled and cooed the entire time and then fell asleep! I love my boy. So glad he is healthy.

    Paed has said to start solids because of the weight loss in the hope it will mean i can continue bf...but that's a whole other story!
