Ugh Elise Dr Appt

[cbear]

So starting this past weekend E started going Pee a LOT like 6x in an hour. Last March she had a UTI so I made another appt this morning to get her checked out. The dr said she thinks she has a kidney infection! And then she says it looks like she had one in March too.. And I said I thought that was a UTI? And she said nope it looks like it was a kidney infection. SO they are going to send her urine sample in for culture and call me on Thursday. But she said she won't be surprised if it shows the same thing it did in March. THEN if it is the same we go in for an X-ray, ultra sound and probably talk with a pediatric urinoligist(sp?)

I am kind of freaking out not going to lie! I talked to my mom who is a NP in that office and she's going to talk to them a little more tomorrow because she thinks if kit truly was a kidney infection Elise would be SUPER sick. She doesn't even have a fever! So if you could send some thoughts Elise's way this week that would be awesome! Of course my mind goes to worse case scenarios so hopefully it really is not much of a big deal..

And sorry this got so long!

So sorry you and Elise are going through this! Keeping you both in my T&P's that it is nothing serious.

[xanthepants]

Ugh. SO how did they do the catch? Did they have to do a catheter? I know when we did a standard catch we got poor results way back when which lead us down a bad road.Cosette barely had noticeable fevers with it as well so I hardly knew. MOTY here.
Regardless, I hope everything works out ok. I really hope she is feeling better soon.

[somethingcleverer]

Sending good thoughts to you and Elise. I think it's kind of odd for them to assume a kidney infection with no fever and her only symptom being frequent urination. I hope your mom can get some more answers for you!

[cbear]

Thanks roo1582!

xanthepants I forgot that CoCo had some back then! Did they ever lead to any kidney infections? For the catch they have what's called a hat for the toilet basically a mini potty you cover the main potty with. Since she's potty trained she just went in that and they tested straight from that so no catheter.

[summergirl1211]

Oh no! I hope you can get some more answers cbear. Did you see the same doctor that said it was a UTI in March? I don't understand where the confusion came from. Anyway, I hope it's just a UTI and she feels better really soon! Please keep us updated.

[mrsplaydoh]

Oh, poor thing! I hope she feels better! Why would they not have told you it was a kidney infection last year...? Hope you can get some answers!

[laurski81]

I am so sorry that you are dealing with this! I will keep you both in my thoughts that it ends up being nothing major. Hugs girl.

[xanthepants]

Well they had us worked up into believing it was kidneys and horrible damage blah blah blah. It was her labial adhesion in the end causing the grief and the UTIs which ultimately all went away and haven't come back. We are watchful now but back then it was nightmarish and confusing. So I feel your pain, and I can only imagine with a toddler getting her to cooperate has got to be hell.

[aimeefarrahfowler]

How frustrating... sorry you are going through this. I hope you get some answers soon.

[junkytrunk]

Oh no! I can't imagine all the worry you must have right now! Hoping it's not a kidney infection!

[origamimommy]

Poor Elise! Sending thoughts and prayers.

[cbear]

I honestly have no clue where the confusion of her March infection came from! It's the same office but we did see a different doctor today since her primary was out. But they have view to all the records, etc. SO my mom is going to have him re look everything tomorrow too.

xanthepants that is crazy and no wonder you were so confused!

Thanks again everyone I guess unfortunately we just have to wait and see what they say :/

[snickers4everyone]

So sorry to hear Elise isn't well. I hope it's not a kidney infection. Sending thoughts and prayers!

[lkamenko]

Oh, no! Hope she gets better and it turns out as not a kidney infection. T&P send your way.

[USCgirl]

cbear, I hope it's just a bad cystitis and not a kidney infection. If it were a kidney infection, she would be in lots of pain. I have suffered one and I thought I was going to die! I pray that everything comes back okay. Poor girl!

[lainikins]

Poor Elise! I hope she feels better and I hope it all ends up being no big deal. Good luck.

[abseptember]

Prayers that it is just a UTI!

Totally not trying to freak you out but my MIL has frequent UTIs and kidney infections and she has little/no symptoms. But her Dr. said this is 100% not typical.

[aylafsu1881]

That sucks and I hope she feels better soon. The mix up is so weird and I am glad your mom is going to ask about it more. I would think they would want to know what exactly is going on. Kidney infections can be serious, so I hope they figure it all out!

[heatherbee]

Hope she starts feeling better soon!

[starfishy]

I would be freaking out too. I hope she's feeling better soon (and that it's not a kidney infection)

[mightybee]

Oh man, hope she feels better!

[cbear]

Thanks so much everyone! I'm anxious to see what her results say! Honestly though she is feeling totally fine. Eating, drinking and being her same crazy, silly, bossy self lol! The only reason I brought her in was because she was going so much so I dunno!

[Riverdong11]

FX that it's not a kidney infection. I hope she starts feeling better soon.

[vanessalc]

Feel better soon, Kiddo!

[MissMusic]

Ugh this sucks. Feel better soon, kiddo! Please update us tomorrow when you hear more!

[bliz1712]

Poor kiddo, I hope she feels bettet and you get some answers.

[cookiesandwine]

Poor girl, T&P's!!

[irish1213]

Poor girl, hope she gets better real soon.

[nesenotes]

Poor girl! Hope they can diagnose her and she feels better soon.
