Of course on the day that Felipe needs to get immunization shots he wakes up with a stuffy and yet very runny nose. He did not have a fever. I went to the doctor office anyway because I needed to follow up with her about the botox injections, UTI and other issues. Since he didn't have a fever, we went ahead with the immunizations. It was a particularly important one bc the measles outbreak that has occurred in NY, especially in The Bronx and in upper Manhattan. I am glad that we got it, at least one thing less to worry about.
For the follow up to the UTI, the urologist had asked the doctor to get a "clean Catch" for urine sample. This means they put a catheter to not have any out side contamination on the urine sample. So basically Felipe had a terrible doctor's visit, catheterized and given 4 shots :( I wasn't really thinking much of the follow up procedure until I saw the urine come out a little cloudy. A sign that he might have a UTI. Oh no! He just finished his medication this past week, I was hopeful for a break from UTI and vomit duty. The pediatrician told me "not to get ahead of myself" but I could also tell she was thinking it was that same thing. Urine was sent to the lab to see if bacteria would grow. An update later...I would like to go for a couple of weeks of not being vomited on. for such a small little person he can vomit alot. sigh. But the doctor's right, lets not get ahead of ourselves and wait for the results. So far no fever!
As for the Botox, she can also see the marked improvement in his legs and his flexibility. So progress in that front!
