FollowThis morning Cass told me that the pain level at her bladder region is at 0.5/10 and by evening, it is zero pain, woohoo!! Am praying fervently now that the pain does not return tomorrow.
I’ll still be keeping Cass at home tomorrow to allow her urinary tract to heal completely before she goes back to school either on Friday or next Tuesday (thank goodness Monday is a public holiday!). I am going to be a nervous wreck when she goes back to school. Though I hate to spend my mornings in school, I guess I have no choice but to spend 2 hours a day in school to supervise Cass on her water intake, to give her the bunch of anti-UTI potion and to ensure that she pees every hourly.
The other thing that Cass has to do to prevent another UTI attack, besides not holding back her urine and to drink water like a fish is that she has a list of trigger food to avoid. These are the foods that will irritate her bladder and are mostly acidic food. Among them is spicy food! She has to give up eating spicy food *SOBS*! Which means that I will also have to steer clear of spicy food whenever she’s with me, to remove all the temptation from her sight 🙁
I am now more well prepared in handling a UTI and should the very first tell-tale signs appear again, I now know what to do to prevent a full-blown urinary tract infection from happening. But knock on wood. I hope Cass will never have another bout of UTI attack, ever again!
If you’ve been praying for Cass’ recovery, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers 🙂
