I have been potty training Baby for the past 1 week and I realized a little problem. While Baby does not wee wee ‘in full’ in her panties, I find that her panties will be slightly wet every half hourly. I suspect that she is leaking urine and she is not even aware […]

…. that Baby C does not have anymore Klabsiella bacteria in her urinary tract. More than a week has passed since the last urine culture test was done. I haven’t sent Baby C’s pee for another culture as her purging had stopped, her down under is not sore anymore and her pee looks rather clear. […]

Baby C has been poo pooing 3-5 times a day ever since she was discharged from the hospital more than 2 weeks ago. Several days ago, her down under turned sore and her pee also smelled a tad funny in the wee hours of the morning. These are normally the classic symptoms that would present […]

This is how my poor baby looked like yesterday… with tubes everywhere on her body - 4 tubes coming out from her tummy, one on her hand for the IV and one nasal gastric tube on her nose that gets connected to a bottle. My little trooper kept moving about and the bunch of tubes […]

We have just received feedback from the surgeon in London. The pediatric surgeon is of the opinion that there is no necessity to do a partial nephrectomy (partial removal of the right kidney, i.e. the upper pole of the right kidney). He has recommended that a ureteral reimplantation be performed. We have however not received […]

This morning, I collected Baby C’s urine to have it tested again. Though it wasn’t at the advise of our doctor, I just knew that I had to have her urine tested again…. first in the hope that the test today will show that the WBC (white blood cells) has dropped and second for other antibiotics […]

The sensitivity report for the urine culture done on Friday last week is out today. I was shocked when I saw the report. The E.Coli bacteria is resistant to all 9 of the antibiotics tested in the sensitivity test. I have always been told by our doctor that E.Coli is the ‘friendliest’ of all bacteria […]
