More Infections

After BrynLee's hernia repair surgery it was only 2 1/2 weeks later before she got another infection. My husband and I are getting better at knowing the signs and when she started with a fever at 6PM on September 23, I knew exactly what was going on. I gave her some tylenol, she fell asleep for a few hours and I checked her again at 9 and she was 102.9. Basically we had 2 options... Head to the hospital now, or wait till 3AM when I'm freaking out! So we went in and got it over with.
The same doctor was there so that was nice! He knew her condition, he knew what needed done! We got in and out alot faster than the first time and they were even ALOT busier! Blood draw, urine sampe, and shot of antibiotic and we were on our way! About 2 days later she was back to herself! :)
Dr. Wallis (BrynLee's Urologist) called me the next Monday morning with her suceptibility report and she's developing resistance to each new prophylaxis antibiotic we put her on. (This is NOT good!) She's currently on the strongest antibiotic we can give her, so if her next infection is resistant to this new med, I'm not sure where we go from there! She's been off her "actual" antibiotic and back on her prophylaxis for 1 week today, so we'll see how long it lasts! I've been VERY careful to keep her clean! I'm about to start wiping her lil bum with clorox wipes if I have to! LOL.. Just kidding, but that's how bad I want her to stay infection free!
