The urine culture results (for urine collected on Thursday last week) came out today. There is a mixed growth of bacteria in the pee and the colony count reading is <5,000. Whenever I get this kind of reading, our doctors would normally tell me that this reading means that the pee was most likely contaminated when it was collected. The colony count reading of <5,000 is insignificant. A repeat urine culture should be done to see if there’s anymore bacteria in the pee. But I know deep down that there is indeed bacteria in Baby C’s pee and the bacteria is beginning to grow and multiply. I am all too familiar with the trend of the urine test results for the past 8 months. Anyway, I will send Baby C’s urine to be tested again on Friday.
