I bet the post title sucked you in...
Went to the pumpkin patch yesterday with The Hobbit, Princess Leia and a UCLA cheerleader.
On another note, after Jordis had the UTI we knew she would need to be tested for kidney reflux or Vesicoureteral Reflux. Click on the link to read about it. We had the test on Thursday (thanks to Brenda for coming with me for this jolly procedure) and she has bilateral kidney reflux. Not a shock based on her UTI at her young age.
Bottom line is this: the treatment is a year of low dose antibiotics! Yuck! I talked to Jordis's pediatrician, Dr. Whyte, yesterday. She knew I would be resistant (considering I don't even vaccinate). I told her I would research it over the weekend. She said if I don't do the antibiotics (which she recommends - especially because Jordis is only 3 months old) she would refer me to a pediatric urologist. The risk is that she could get an infection and show no signs of one (especially since she cannot communicate about it) and then get kidney damage. Without getting into all the details and info (you can look online if you are interested), I wanted to see if anyone has had experience with this.
I don't want her to take those antibiotics (Septra), but it may be the lesser of two evils.
P.S. Stay tuned for more pumpkin patch photos.
