We were at our pediatric nephrologist\u2019s clinic again today. I was told by our doctor to bring Baby C to her clinic for an antibiotics jab 2 days ago but I decided to wait until today as baby\u2019s pee did not smell foul anymore. Furthermore, I wanted to wait for the urine culture report and sensitivity report to be ready (out yesterday) so that we are certain that she\u2019s getting the right antibiotics. The sensitivity report showed that the bacteria is only resistant to one type of antibiotics. This antibiotics has to be given via IV or IM thrice a day, which is not feasible. After a discussion with our doctor, we decided to have baby\u2019s pee collected again via catheterization this time. Urine collected via catheterization is a clean catch and does not risk being contaminated, thus we will have a more accurate results. Our doctor also wanted a few more types of antibiotics tested for their sensitivity so that there will be more options to treat Baby C.<\/p>\n

As usual, Baby C screamed her lungs out during the procedure. Darn those nurses who were not well prepared for the procedure, more than half of baby\u2019s pee was not collected in the specimen bottle as the bottle wasn\u2019t even opened yet when the catheter was already inserted inside.\u00a0 Consequently, the pee was splattered everywhere on the bed. Luckily the very little pee collected in the specimen bottle was still enough for the tests to be carried out. My poor baby has to endure yet another round of torturous procedure. When she came home, she wanted to be carried all the time. I am now typing this post with one finger as my other hand is carrying Baby C. I guess the rest of my day would be spent carrying my poor sweetiepie. I can forget about painting my nails with nail\u00a0varnish from nailsinc<\/a>. I am drop dead exhausted now and all I need is a forty winks. And if you are wondering what nailsinc is, it is the world\u2019s largest nail bar chain offering quick, affordable, high-quality and branded nail care products and services.<\/p>\n
