On Wednesday I decided to take a urine sample from Waverly into the doctor to get tested, even though she'd had a urinalysis just last week. Since she was cathed twice last week on Wednesday, I figured it was good to check again, especially since she was still having so many seizures. They had checked her urine last Thursday but since she was still seizing, I went ahead and took another sample in.
I talked to the doctor yesterday, and her urine did grow bacteria again. I'm a little confused because she has been on a prophylactic antibiotic since her last UTI, so she should have been protected, but apparently it didn't work, so now she's got another one. That's about all the info I have. I should hear from them today a little more info, like what it grew and if the antibiotic she's on will treat it. In the meantime, we have upped her prophylactic antibiotic to a full dose. I'm not sure if we'll be seeing a urologist now since she's obviously still having troubles or what.
