In June Joey went to Children's Hospital to do his yearly tests, measuring his kidney size and amount of reflux. He looked so cute in the little gown I had to snap a picture, even though it wasn't the funnest appt for him. The Drs are so nice and we're happy to live only 10 minutes from this hospital. He always goes away with cool stickers and toys, like his indoor/outdoor sunglasses. Anyway, after finding his right kidney is still quite large, the Dr recommended performing his surgery on Sept 8th to reimplant the tubes that are allowing backflow into the kidneys. It should completely fix the problem if all goes well, allowing him to not require his daily dose of antibiotics. 
What gives me comfort is that Joey is young enough that I don't think he'll remember the surgery. That and we will be praying for him and giving him anything to make him comfortable. He is a healthy and very active 3-year-old and I am thankful we have wonderful Drs who can perform these miraculous surgeries that help us. Keep him in your prayers if you could!
