Our team of doctors has reached a conclusion. Gracie has a UTI. They think now that that's all she has. But it is very bad. She will be getting IV antibiotics for a while. My sleep deprived brain is remembering the doctor say for 5 days. She said that we should not be concerned if her symptoms did not improve noticeably in 5 days. Any improvement before that is gravy. Her blood cultures are still developing, two more days on those. The whole thing is still crazy. But I'm glad that at least now we know.

I've never heard of a UTI with the kind of symptoms she had. Doctors must know better.... I will pray she will continue to get well and this will all be behind you and your family.

I came over from Missy's blog. She is my niece.

Blessings.

Bless her little heart (and yours!) I've been thinking about you, and am so glad to hear that a UTI was the diagnosis instead of the other thing. Sarah was four months old when she had menengitis, it was very scary. What makes it even worse is not knowing what is going on. God's blessings on your whole family in this time; hold tight to your strength and faith. Hug Gracie for everyone that wants to, and can't. Love in Christ. Carole Ewing

Grateful Introspection
