continuation from here.
I called our pediatric nephrologist this morning. The urine culture test shows that there is very scanty growth of bacteria in the urine. Our dr. said that the amount is so insignificant that it is not considered a UTI. That’s why the initial urine FEME test done on Monday showed that there was no bacteria and no WBC (white blood cells) in the urine. Only 2 RBC (red blood cells) were detected.
Today will be the last day I need to feed her antibiotics twice a day. Tomorrow onwards she only needs to be fed antibiotics once a day, 2.5ml a day. So am I glad or sad? I am glad that it is not a full blown UTI but sad that there is still some bacteria lingering in her urinary tract. Looks like I will have to continue being trapped in my nightmare, continue to smell her soiled diapers everyday, continue to check her urine several times a week and make endless trips to the hospital until only God knows when they will all come to an end. Sigh….. really sien and I am really, really mentally and physically frazzled 🙁
I’m glad that it’s scanty. But at the same time, I know what you mean. It’s so much easier to get it over and done with. Not the case, this time tho.
Hang in there.
Btw…i kept thinking abt your No.2 doing the puzzles. Is she normally a patient girl? My No.2 is … quite patient. But when it comes to puzzles…he just tries very hard to put every puzzle together. Yes.. as long as there is a hole, he’ll stick it in there..not caring abt the big picture. How did Alycia teach her? Sorry… commenting in wrong post..haha
Mott… I’ll answer your question in your blog 🙂

Hang in there. She will grow out of it!
