Another UTI...

Waverly woke up on Tuesday morning of this week with 4 seizures and a slight temperature.  So after finding a place for the big kids to go, we headed on over to the doctor's office to get her checked out.  I already suspected a UTI.  After 3 catheter attempts, and a long wait for her bladder to fill, we finally got a urine sample.  It looked clear and the initial quick analysis was clear, but two days later the lab report from the culture came back positive for pseudomonis again (the same bacteria she had last time).  Apparently this type is very resistant to antibiotics, and isn't stopped by the prophlyactic antibiotic she currently takes daily.  So, she's back on Omnicef to treat this infection, and we are doing lots of research to try to figure out why she's gotten 4 UTIs now in 5.5 months.
