review after uti

we went back to kk for yu ze's first review after being discharged for uti. he had an ultrascan on his kidney and bladder. they are growing well, no sign or deform or abnormal. so this is a good news. i ask if he can stop his antibiotic but was rejected. the antibiotic is to clean up or kill any possible bacteria in his urine in his uterus. in case there is any back flow of urine, it will be free from bacteria or contain less bacteria that could harm the kidney. so he still need to continue to take his antibiotic till march where another test will be conducted.

today's scan only tell us that his kidney and bladder are growing well but doesn't tell us if there is any backflow of urine into his kidney which could be the cause of his uti. therefore in march, they are going to insert some colour dye into him then do a scan to see the flow of his urine. if his urine flow is normal, the previous uti is just an isolated case. if there is a backflow of urine, then they need to see how serious is the backflow. if its very serious, there might do a little operation on him or he may have to take antibiotic till he is 6 years old. however, looking at him physically, the doc say it should be an isolated case of uti or even if there is really a back flow its not a serious one. she told us for babies who really have back flow problem will be sickly and not as active as yu ze. 

for now we just need to make sure he take his antibiotic every night and he don't develop a fever.
