What....E-Coli?!?!?!?!
The doctor called this morning to tell us that Tesshin has e-coli in his urine. He had a fever of 102 degrees last Thursday and Friday. Tessho took him to the doctor to do another urine bag and at the same, get checked out because of this ongoing fever. I thought that his fever was because he had his chicken pox and MMR shot 10 days prior. They say that that is a normal reaction to the shots. He didn't eat very much over the weekend but I thought it was because he was teething (YES...he's got two teeth!!! Finally!!!) But after hearing from the doctor, it makes total sense. So, he's on antibiotics and we have to take him to the hospital next week to do a VCUG and ultrasound of his kidneys, to make sure there's no damage. YIKES!!! I immediately Googled VCUG and read up on it. Oh boy, that is not going to be fun. I might have Tessho go in with him, not me. My poor little Tesshin. He's probably been to the doctors more times in his first year of life than I've been in my life. I just hope for good news.
