Baby C’s pee still smells a little foul today… and looks yellowish too on her diaper. Today I collected her pee in a specimen bottle to have an inspection myself and as I had expected, the pee looks a tad cloudy and there were tiny particles floating inside too 🙁
I made a call to my nephrologist and she said to bring Baby C in to have her pee collected via catheterization. Urine collected via catheterization does not get contaminated as it’s directly from the ureter. Baby C has been purging for the past 3 days and her diaper area is really red and sore. This could be the cause of the urine infection (if indeed there is any)…. but it’s still a case of the chicken or the egg. The infection could be caused by the poo or the purging could have been caused by the infection. The best is to do a urine culture test today to decide the next course of action. If indeed there’s an infection, my poor baby would have to be given painful intra-muscular antibiotics jabs again for several days 🙁
Dear God, whatever it is, just remove all the pain, discomforts and torture that are bound to be inflicted on my poor baby….amen!
Hopefully, Baby C is ok. Hang in there.
gosh.. i hope that she’ll be alright. this sucks! u take care too.
