Hello blogging world! A little update on us.
Remember that I got sick 3 weeks ago? It lasted for about a week. It started with a sore throat, a fever then colds and a little coughing on the side. I think this is what caused Vera’s Viral Infection last week. Her fever never lasts more than 24 hours before. This got us worried plus the fact that her temperature’s average is on the high 38s. I was not a bit worried on the first 3 days but on the afternoon of the third day when yaya G called to tell me that they found a little streak of blood on Vera’s diaper, that got me worried and tensed! My initial reaction was she probably got UTI. It was a Tuesday and hamey and I are both at work. Tuesday means coding. Coding means we can’t leave not until pass 7 in the evening. Good thing I was able to talk to Vera’s Pediatrician and she just told me to bring Vera to the hospital for laboratory tests (Urinalysis and CBC). She was calm which helped me stayed calm for the rest of the day. I called Yaya J to prepare Vera’s stuff, we’ll go home to get Vera and bring her immediately to the hospital.
Vera was confined in the ER for about 3 hours since we waited for her to pee for the urinalysis. She’s the type of baby you wouldn’t suspect that something is wrong. She plays, sings and run from one end to the other end of the ER crib. Sabi nga nung Med. Tech., sana ganyan ka pa din kahit after kita kunan ng blood. *grins* She cried for a while, it seems that she has a high pain tolerance unlike me. Madaling mapatahan.
The result came positive for UTI. She was prescribed to take antibiotics by the ER Doctor. The following day, her fever reached 39. We plan to administer the antibiotic but she wouldn’t want to eat. So we just decided to bring her again to the ER. It says naman if fever reached 101F, bring to ER.
to be continued…
