As I have mentioned in my previous post in this blog, Ms. Burrito has been carrying a high fever on and off since last Thursday last week. She felt a little better last Friday so she went to school but at twelve noon, she called me to come to school and pick her up. She was so sick again that day and the whole night. The morning of Saturday, I gave her a good bath then she felt better but at night time she was fevered again, sigh.
We were getting so worried about her fever coming on and off so we brought her to the hospital yesterday. She was dehydrated so the doctor gave her an IV, am intravenous device for delivering electrolyte solutions, medicine, and nutrients. They ran some blood tests (took five tubes of blood from her). I am so glad that she is a tough kid, she never cried or whimper when they were sticking needles on her. She's definitely tougher than me.
The result of the blood test came back and the doctor said that she has a Urinary Tract Infection or UTI. We never suspected that she has a UTI as she did not have a difficulty in urinating but the doctor said that the infection is not in her urethra but in the bladder.
"UTI are infections of the urethra, bladder, ureters, or the kidneys which comprise the urinary tract. UTIs are diagnosed usually by isolating and identifying the urinary pathogen from the patient. The symptoms and signs vary somewhat depending on sex, age, and the area of the urinary tract that is infected." These are some if the infos I read at MedicneNet.com.I am just glad that it did not impede her urine flow as it is very painful. I had a UTI before and it was an excruciating pain. I did not send her to school today as she is still very weak although there is no fever anymore. She vomited this morning so I am letting her eat some saltine to settle her stomach. I feel so bad because she lost her appetite, she doesn't want to eat anything. She is taking antibiotics and I hope that she would be completely healed soon.
Thanks for all who included my daughter in their prayer, it is greatly appreciated!
I hope that your little princess recovered soon, basta continue lang gamot, antibiotic.. I'll include in my prayer for fast recovery.. Get well soon!

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your daughter. My daughter was diagnosed too. One of the symptoms was high fever and reach to 104 and that scares me to death when my daughter has UTI- and so sad she it happen after our vacation in Philippines that's why my hubby doesn't want me to bring our daughter back until she develops her good immune system.My doctor said it is very common to girls.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better pretty girl :-) being sick is no fun at all :-( You are such a lucky girl to have a Mommy who will take care of you and your brother :-) Take enough rest :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is really quite alarming that many children are now being diagnosed with UTI. It wasn't that common during my time. Hope your daughter gets well really soon.
ReplyDeleteoh,my! poor Rye...sorry to hear about her being sick sis...true, she's a tough kid and she'll get through this UTI thing...musta na sis?
ReplyDeletei used to have UTI when I was younger too, her age, your daughter is a lot tougher and braver, since i remember, i would cry a lot during those days. hope she feels better soon.
ReplyDeletePraying for Ms. Burrito's fast recovery.
ReplyDeleteBella was also hospitalized due to UTI last year so I understand how hard it is for everyone in the family to have a sick kid. It is good to know na wala na syang fever sis.
Oh my! too young to get UTI. I hope she gets well very soon... and make her drink plenty of water and eat fruits... Prayers for you Ms. Burito...

ReplyDeleteMy Blue Monday.
Oh! Get well soon quick, miss burrito. I know how mommy feels when kids got sick.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why UTI's becoming common to kids now. My youngest had the same two years back, she was given antibiotics, the pedia suspected something in her diet...up to now, I don't know how it happened.
Hugs to u, brave kid.
Poor pretty, Rylie. I hope she feels a lot better now, Rose. UTI? Do they usually get it these days as young as Rylie's age?
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I shall keep praying for her speedy recovery, Rose. It must be hard for a Mom like you when her children gets really sick.
Sad to hear that the beautiful Ms. Burrito is suffering from UTI. I pray that she'll get well so soon. She'll be fine I know because God will heal her.

Seeing a child who is ill is difficult; hope that she recovers quickly and stays well!
ReplyDeleteHope she is fine now .. Kyla was confined in the hospital because of UTI also, she was 2 years old that time so its really hard especially hindi ko alam kung ano yon sumasakit sa kanya, Hirap ng may sakit ang anak no.
ReplyDeleteWow, you've got a very tough daughter, Rose. My daughter is like that, too. It seemed like I was the one in pain whenever she has IV injections when she's sick. I hope she'll feel okay and gain back her appetite the soonest.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this information. Just yesterday I was informed by my Dr. that I have a UTI and was prescribed antibiotics. I started taking them today. hope they do the job. I didn't know it could get that bad. lots of thanks!
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes-
