Soph-Firstly huge hugs hun.....I had no idea that Ned had this. A UTI would most definitely be caused his Kidney abscess. UTI's are normally from bacteria, kidney infections or abscesses.
An abscess is an infection that has occurred in the tissue and your body has 'blocked' it off so to speak making an abscess. I really hope it goes away hun and I'm so glad to hear that hes back to his normal self.
Soph - sorry to hear Ned has been unwell .Joel recently was in hospital with a severe UTI and on IV antibiotics too.A scan later showed he has severe urinary/kidney reflux but he didn't have a kidney abscess.Nothing showed up during my pregnancy scans either.
UTI's usually mean there is urinary reflux in boys especially under 6 months.
He will have a special scan DMSA in 3 weeks to check his kidney function and make sure there is no scarring /damage from UTI(s).We got referred to a paed urology surgeon btw at Children's Hosp.
I hope Ned heals quickly and there is no further problems but it is important he is followed up by renal / paed specialist regardless from what my paed Dr said.
Hi Trish! Sorry Joel has been through this too, well and truley is the pits eh? Well we were back at the hosp today (doing Hospital in the Home, so just a trip to see the paed) and we werer a bit more demanding. Gotta have another U/s in the next couple of days. Paed finally admitted that he has been practising since 1973 and seen nothing like it, so no one knows really. He spoke to the paed urologist in Brissie though who said that if it is an abscess (cos they don't really know what it is!) then yeap it will need surgery. Poor Ned though, his bum is red raw from diarrehea from the ABs. Let me know how Joel goes with the next scan.
Soph - poor Ned - yes I know about AB poo's Joel is just on a daily dose now but still runny and stinky.I am glad you are getting referred to paed urologist and I hope they help Ned.
Hope all goes well with Ned's next ultrasound. I know it's not a fun thing for them to have done and it's so hard to hold them down while they do it as well.
