A prison visit

Dsc00051

Christine brought Ella to visit today, and she and Inigo held hands after a long and involved conversation.

We saw Dr McVeagh this afternoon, she seems to think it IS a bladder infection, and that now that he is on antibiotics, he should start to gain some weight. On Thursday we’ll get another urine sample for testing, and on Friday we should have the results. We’ll also weigh him again on Friday to see if he has gained any weight. Today the electronic scales said 5.290kg, which is encouraging.

So if it is a bladder infection, there is a 75% chance that there isn’t a “cause” that we can identify. Which means there is a 25% chance that he has something wrong with his waterworks. We have to have an ultrasound, and another test involving a tiny catheter and some dye.

A few more days to get through before I can have my breakdown.

  1. As a highly-infected baby myself (I had both eardrums burst at 18 mos & my mum had a bottle of liquid penicillin on tap for me through several painful years of frequently recurring ear infections) I am cheering on for Inigo that he will pull through OK and become a healthy young boy. Let’s hope it was just a random infection attacking a young, unprepared immune system and all works out OK with the waterworks.

  2. This is such a beautiful photograph. You don’t know me, but I’ve been following your blog. Take care and you are also in my thoughts – in a non-stalkerish way.
