6 Days in the Hospital!

Just a brief update for you all. Julia came home yesterday (Aug. 31) after spending 6 days in the hospital

It started last Tuesday with a 104 fever that spiked to 105.5 Her doctor couldn't find the source of infection.

Wednesday after a urine culture and blood culture she was admitted to the hospital. Still running a 104 fever.

LONG STORY. . .the out come was, Kidney infection, UTI and bacteria growing in her blood.

5 days of IV antibiotic, 4 blood draws, 3IVs, 6 shots in her legs and then sent home on a 10 day antibiotic. She will be having a VCUG on September 18th to determine if the kidneys are receiving a backwash into them which may have caused the infection to begin with.

We are happy to be home and thankful that our little girl is getting back to normal!
