Baby Health Update

We had the MCU on the 16th, and saw the Dr to get the results. Apparently he has grade one reflux on the right, and grade two on the left. Grade one is no big deal, and probably not worth medicating on it’s own – but grade two is not good.

We did another urine test on the 16th, but so far we haven’t found the results. I have made numerous phone calls, but since my paed has two offices and two receptionists, and she has been away at a conference for a week, it’s been hard to pin anyone down. I will go to the Westmead office tomorrow, and if the results can’t be found then we’ll re-test.

Last Tuesday night Mark noticed that the tip of his foreskin was looking a little manky, so off we trooped to the medical centre (the skanky one I hate, but is open late). He weighed in at 7.9kg, and we got oral and topical antibiotics for the infection. Apparently it was probably caused by the MCU, not poor parental hygiene. So if he did have another urine infection on the 16th, this latest round of drugs would have killed it by now – but it would be helpful to know if he did get another infection while he was on the prophylactic dose of the antibiotics.

He continues to go from strength to strength, he started sitting up unsupported over a week ago, and has begun to “crawl”. Backwards.

We’re very proud.
