Your UTI

We spoke with Dr. Goldberg today.  You did not have your heart ultrasound today as planned and it will be postponed until next week after your antibiotics are all done.  You'll have 7 days of antibiotics.  They will reevaluate next week about surgery.  You are looking really good the past couple days.  You are more active again and just look better.  That is why it is so surprising that you have another infection.  But hopefully it is because you just need more time for this PDA to close on its own.

Dr. Goldberg also spoke of possibly testing you for urinary reflux at some point like Abby had done about 6 years ago.  She didn't have reflux and hopefully you won't either; then you won't need longterm antibiotics.  They are going to try to go up on your feeds faster like 2mLs per feed instead of 1.  I'm a little nervous about that.  You've had some residuals lately.  One time you had not digested any of your feed so they had to hold that feed.   You got some blood today too.  I wonder how many blood transfusions you've had?  One of these days I'm going to ask a nurse to count.
