Sam unwell again ... maybe

One of the tests (urine test) performed while Sam was in the hospital last week indicated he had an infection. Meeks got called back into hospital for a second test on Monday which showed the same thing, despite the fact he is visibly in good health. A couple of visits to the paediatrician haven't really resolved anything so he had another lot of urine shipped off to be tested this morning. If this test shows he has an infection he will need 48 hours of intravenous antibiotics in hospital. If it shows he doesn't have an infection, it would seem to indicate that he had an infection which his body fought off. He will still need an ultrasound to confirm that his kidneys don't have any scarring as a result of the infection. If there is scarring he will have to go off to the Children's Hospital for an operation which I don't really know the details of.

It is all a bit scary, but I'm comforted by the fact that the paediatrician says he seems to be in very good health by every other measure and he is certainly growing well and eating well and happy.

Please pray for us and little Sam!
