After having difficulty urinating, the doctors asked me to get a sterile urine sample to rule out another Urinary Tract Infection. I was pretty sure that she didn't have a UTI, but didn't know why she was having so much trouble. We scooted over to the pediatrician's office to have a catheter put in to obtain the sample. Obviously Charity didn't enjoy that and we were all relieved when it was over - especially since the preliminary findings showed no UTI. Last night, whether due to the earlier cathater or not...Charity did not have a wet diaper the entire night. She had been crying and squirmy off and on throughout the night, so my plan was to take her in due to her discomfort and pain. Finally, in the early morning, she wet her diaper and has had good wet diapers all day. In light of all of this, the nurse from Urology called to let me know that they were trying to move Charity's tests up one week. So...we are on-call for tomorrow. If all goes well, we will be heading to Lucille Packard for a myriad of tests to help determine the cause of the reflux, the severity and the plan from there. We are all glad for this, since we want to figure out for Charity's sake what the issue is and what can be done to help her. Aside from her "pee-pee" issues, she is happy, smiling, babbling and generally happy to be home with her fan club. She is breathing easily these days and nothing major went amiss today with the G-tube :)
