Took Aiden to the doctor

[Caitlin]

So Aiden's had a fever for going on 6 days now. It always goes right back up to 102 when the Motrin/Tylenol wears off. Besides that, he hasn't really had any other symptoms.

We took him Tuesday night to get him looked at. The nurse practitioner said it was just a virus and to watch the fever. Fast forward to today and he was much worse and really lethargic. He slept from 7:45AM-12 on the couch with me...that never happens! I also noticed he hadn't been peeing much even though he'd been drinking a TON of fluids.

So I took Aiden into his regular doctor today (who came in just to see Aiden on his day off--he's awesome!!). The doctor looked Aiden over and gave me a bag to try and catch some pee in. I got maybe a teaspoon of pee and it was super cloudy and dark. The doctor couldn't diagnose an infection on his office's machine, so he sent it out to be cultured. We'll know more tomorrow about an infection or not. He also mentioned something about reflux in the bladder and possibly having to do a catheter test if there is significant growth on the culture? I've never heard of that, but it definitely didn't ease my mind.

Sorry that was so long! I haven't been able to talk to DH about it, so I was just spilling all of the uncessary details to all of you lovely ladies! :D :hehe:

Poor little guy! I hope they are able to figure out what is wrong with him so he can feel better.

[Farah]

Oh poor guy!!!!! What time will the results be back?? Is he doing better tonight?

[bella_bella]

Poor little guy, I hope he's feeling better soon and that you get some answers!!

Aww poor Aiden! I hope they can give you some answers tomorrow and figure out what's going on. :support:

Poor baby! Hopefully tomorrow brings good news and a solution to helping him get over whatever is causing the fever.

[Heather]

Bless his heart! It's definitely no fun for them to be sick, much less for that long. Cohen had a fever for that many days recently, too. His ended up being bronchitis that turned into a nasty ear infection that wouldn't go away. I hope you get some answers soon! :support:

[Caitlin]

Thanks for the well wishes, ladies!


He was spunky after the appointment today, but he woke up from his nap and was extremely cranky.

I could feel him wincing as he was trying to go pee. Even when he did it was only a tiny bit. And for the 5th night in a row he screamed when we put him in the tub...bath time is usually his favorite! I let him run around without a diaper and he peed on a towel without crying. I guess that's a good sign? I feel so bad for him!
