So I posted a few weeks ago about my LO having a UTI/kidney infection. While she was on the antibiotics she was perfectly fine. However, 48 hours after ending antibiotics her fever spiked back up to 104.7 and Tylenol wasn't getting rid of it. Went to the ER that is an hour away (because of our terrible experience at the closer one last time) and ended up getting transferred to the children's hospital. We have been here for five days now and LO has had 4 spinal taps, 5 in and out catheters, 2 IVs, way too many needle pricks for blood draws, and now we have a PICC line in her little arm. We got an ultrasound and another test on her kidneys and found out she has kidney reflux. Grade 3 in her right kidney and grade 4 in her left ( out of 5 grades). We are going to be here for another two to three weeks then will go home with some probiotics that will hopefully keep the infections away. If they continue to come back we are looking at surgery. Luckily my LO is feeling better the past couple days and has been cooing and smiling and stealing all the nurses' hearts. A BIG change from the first few days. We moved from the trauma unit to ICU and are now in a regular room finally. This has been an extremely rough week and being almost 3 hours from home makes it worse. Any good thoughts would be appreciated. We are trying to make it through with a smile on our faces for her sake. The worry and stress about surgery on top of both of us missing work and losing money is not helping us....

My $0.02 anyway. Ignore me if that's not good advice for you. Xo
Thank you again ladies. We will get through this. I have one tough little girl by my side :x
Thank you again for all of the thoughts ladies. It's nice to have a place to vent and write down my thoughts, which is somehow different than saying them out loud.
