Botox cancelled...b/c of fever. UTI strikes again

Today we arrived at Mt. Sinai at 6am.  We called the night before bc Felipe started to vomit some of his milk.  With his appetite being like bottomless pit, I just figured that he drank too much.  No fever, no symptoms of being sick.  We arrived at the first holding area, the nurse noted a slightly higher body temperature in one ear over the other.  I still didn't think much of it.  We were in the pre-opt waiting area, the step right before the actual procedure and the anesthesiologist tested his temperature again.  100.6.  Procedure cancelled.

I am disappointed. Not only did I get very little sleep making it to the hospital on time, I just wanted to get the process rolling along.  But then again, God's time, not mine, right?!

I left bummed but wrapped up Felipe and was about to go home, as the specialist had suggested to do when I decided I should listen to a little gut feeling that was saying, take a detour to the pediatrician's office.  the specialist thought it was a 24 hour stomach bug that had been going around. By gut feeling, I mean, trying to listen to God for guidance.  I had been praying that his fever wasn't indicating of anything else and suddenly I had an overwhelming desire to go see his doctor. I was able to squeeze Felipe in to her schedule to see him at her office.  Within the one hour it took to see her, his fever was up to 102.4.  He was immediately catheterized and his urine came back positive for infection.  Why? IDK.  I left a message with the urologist and returned home to get the antibotics for Felipe.  The question that is bugging me is, Why?  He has a couple of reasons why he will get a UTI: Spinal Surgery (bladder isn't emptying as fast as before), he has a duplex kidney, etc. I just don't want to go thru feeding him meds and dealing with vomiting baby almost every 2 weeks.  Appointment with Urologist on 4/4, so lets see what can be done.

So, thank god, the fever didn't get as high as 106.5 like last time.  We caught it "early" in the sense that with the medication his vomiting and general blah-ness should be over soon.

Packing update: not doing anything, just cleaning up after the baby's projectile vomit. sigh. I'm getting good in keeping it off my shirt.
