I called our nephrologist today. The initial urine FEME test shows that there are no WBC (white blood cells) and no bacteria in the urine. There are however 2 RBC (red blood cells) in the urine…. which means that there could be an infection in the urinary tract or kidney. Our doctor said to wait for the urine culture results to see what is actually going on in her urinary tract, which will only be out on Thursday or Friday. Sigh… 2-3 more days of worrying myself sick. Meanwhile, her antibiotics has been changed from Cephalexin to Bactrim and increased from 1.5ml once a day to 2.5ml twice a day.
Today Baby C’s pee does not smell foul anymore and she appears as active as usual. She is however still purging. I’ve stopped feeding her with cranberry juice and barley water. Yesterday she was really traumatized when the dr. inserted the catheter into her ureter and subsequently gave her a very painful intra-muscular antibiotics jab. Her long-term memory has already formed and the moment she was put on the bed in the procedures room, she already yelled her lungs out. She could remember the procedures that she had gone through recently and my poor baby was scared. She was really whiny and craby after the trip to the hospital and she was practically latched on to my teats the whole night!
sigh…poor baby 🙁
