Here is an update on Celeste's bladder infection. (By the way she is doing great!) I took Celeste into the pediatrition for a fever and runny nose last week. She had also thrown up a few times. Dr. Edwards wanted a blood test and found her white blood cell count was really high. So he had more blood taken and a urinalysis. That's when he found the bladder infection. Celeste is such a strong baby! He said that most babies that get this infection end up in the hospital. He gave her a shot of powerful antibiotics and by the next day Celeste's fever was gone and she was laughing and playing.
Dr. Edwards wants to test her for urinary reflux. It's a common problem in babies, more common in girls. They usually outgrow it in a year, but may need to be on antibiotics for a while. So on Monday, April 13, she will have an ultrasound and a VCUG (voiding cysto-urethrogram) test done. If she has that it will show up with the test.
Last night she figured out how to roll from her tummy to her back. She rolled all the way across her blanket several times.
