I am so so down today coz the urine test today showed that there are lots of WBC (white blood cells) in Baby C’s urine, which means that there is possibly another UTI attack.
Ever since Baby C had UTI 3 months ago, I have a habit of smelling her soiled diaper each time I change the diaper. When I changed her diaper in the wee hours today, her urine/diaper smelled foul and the smell is similar to the pee of someone who had just eaten petai (stinky beans) the night before. I was worried sick and couldn’t sleep well. This morning, her diaper looked dark yellowish and the foul smell was still there. I immediately took her urine, which took me the whole morning to painstakingly collect, drop by drop. Hubby then brought the urine to the hospital only to be told that the urine wasn’t enough to do both the FEME urine test and culture test, aargh…. I really wanted to cry!
I thought I had done everything to keep the UTI at bay from changing her diaper after every pee to washing her bum after every poo, feeding her with probiotics, cranberry juice and what not but still these are not enough to keep the bacteria from attacking my poor baby. I just hope that this is only a false positive for UTI as this happened 2 weeks ago. My paed told me today that the foul smelling and dark colored pee could just be a vaginal yeast infection as this had happened to baby 2 months ago. I’m bringing baby to see Dr. Indon tomorrow and I just have a feeling that she will order another urine test done with the urine collected via a cathether inserted into baby’s urethra again! If it’s truly another breakthrough UTI, my poor baby has to endure another 3 rounds of very painful intra-muscular antibiotics jab, which she just had 2 weeks ago. Sigh…… when will our nightmare ever end? Perhaps the only solution now is via surgery? I hope not.

Ooo I am so sad too..
I m sad to see baby suffer. Like Philip, I cried n cried yesterday when he couldnt stop crying at 1am, and didnt want to take med, n yet he is so hot. and guess what, cousin said armpit thermometer is not accurate. so if see 39d on it..it means on an ear thermometer is 42!
Anyway, have you seek chinese medical expert on this? Maybe they have some solutions..
Anyway, take care and we both wish everything will be ok, smooth sailing soon.
have a good weekend
