Another update

So we got the test results back from Luca's urine and he does have a urinary tract infection. (Most likely caused by his hydronephrosis... the kidney issue he was born with.) His doctor wants him to get another test done to make sure he doesn't have reflux, which is where the urine goes from the kidneys to bladder and then back to the kidneys. So he will go to Children's in two weeks to have a VCUG. Basically they will drain his bladder (another catheter for my poor baby) and then fill it with this liquid that they can see via xray. Then they take xrays of his bladder and watch the movement of the fluid to see if it's going both ways. It's a small procedure and he stays awake throughout it. Although I don't know if I can watch him get another catheter... it is horrible to watch.

He is also going on daily antibiotics to hopefully prevent another infection. He was up last night from 7pm to 2am screaming. We had gotten dressed at 2am to take him to the ER b/c we have never seen him so upset. Then just before we got out of the house, he pooed and felt better. The antiobiotics he's on are really doign a number on his tummy. He has his 5 month check up tomorrow, so we will update again then.
