Baby C has another UTI. This time there’s Proteus bacteria in the urine. Hubby and I spent the whole afternoon at Pantai Medical Center to get her admitted, but as usual, we were allowed to take home leave. The same torturous procedures took place where the doctor had to find her vein to set an IV line. Thankfully it was a success this time as Baby C has lost her chubbiness and thus, it was easier for the doctor to see a vein. This time, I wasn’t allowed to be in the Procedures Room and all I could do was to wait outside, hearing her wail and praying hard that God will remove all her pain.
She was given a bottle of antibiotics through the IV line on her hand, which lasted several minutes. The antibiotics has to be injected twice a day – 10am and 10pm for 5 days.
The bacteria Proteus is resistant to most antibiotics that’s considered safe, so our 2 doctors had a hard time trying to find an alternative antibiotics for Baby C. Proteus is sensitive to 3 antibiotics but these antibiotics have adverse side effects, if given on a long term basis. One of the side effects is that it may hinder bone growth.
I really wonder why Baby C is so prone to getting UTIs despite being on daily antibiotics and despite me trying my level best to keep her diaper area clean and doing everything that the doctor had advised me to do. Sigh…..
I hope Baby C feels better soon.

Oh no, not again! Did you have a word with the doctor on what else you could do? Would it be worth getting a 2nd opinion from another doctor/hospital? Just a thought……..
Yes, agree on Paik Ling too…seek for other nurtitionist and doctor advice…PMC…hope you are still ok with them…I so fuming on those charges on Terry and recently I just got those full billing with me. Lousy doc and ridiculous charges.
