A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Ever since Baby C had her first serious attack of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) when she was just a few days shy of turning 2 months old, I have a phobia of smelling foul smelling pee in her diaper. Foul smelling pee means that there is most likely an infection in her urinary tract system….
Hubby had passed the MCUG film (of Baby C’s kidneys and urinary tract system) to his cousin who went to London last week. The MCUG film has been passed to hubby’s uncle who is a heart surgeon in London, who will then pass the film to his friends who are pediatric nephrologists. We will get the opinion on Baby C’s condition from…
This is the 5th time in 4 months that bacteria has been detected in Baby C’s urine. So far, she has had 1 full-blown Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and 1 ‘semi full-blown’ UTI about 3 weeks ago.

Praise The Lord! The Urine Culture test shows that there is no growth of bacteria in Baby C’s urine! Despite not on antibiotics for 3 days, the bacteria did not proliferate in the urine! That’s the best news I’ve received this week. Thank you Lord!
I was to collect Baby C’s urine today to be sent to SJMC to be tested. Last night, I had planned carefully what to do today. I should wake up at 6am today, nurse Baby C, do some work on my computer, go for my morning jog, take my bath, prepare Aly and Sher for…
During a routine ultrasound scan when I was about 13 or 14 months pregnant with Cassandra, my third daughter, my Ob&G detected something and said this to me… these words will forever be etched in my memory : “There is an issue here that I need to address.
