Hot Head

Evalyn had a fever last week, which I chalked up to a possible impending tooth.  She was perfectly happy, eating normally, sleeping a bit more than usual but no other symptoms.  Tylenol stopped controlling her fever on Friday evening so we took her in to KidsCare. 

After a quick exam and a urine sample we were sent on our way.  They said they'd call with the lab results.  Sunday afternoon we were notified that Evalyn had a bladder infection and they called in antibiotics.  She'd been fever free since Saturday morning, but we picked up the prescription on Monday and started her on them.  Here's where things get sort of interesting.

Evalyn's pediatrician called to follow-up on Monday afternoon.  I let her know that she was fine, didn't have a fever and seemed back to 100%.  She said that was great, "but I want to run a few more tests for vesicoureteral reflux."  They wanted to do an ultrasound on her kidneys and a VCUG.  I told the doc that I wanted to discuss it with Lane and that I'd call back and let them know our decision.

We've decided not to do either test at this time.  This is the first issue she's ever had and IF she ends up with another infection we'll go down that road.  But for now - she's as happy and healthy as can be...
