Today's outcome of Kate's UTI finding

Thought I would know some results today after Kate's first UTI encounter where they have already collected her urine back then. However, this was not the case. I was flooded with information about cause of UTI, types of diagnosis available and to make a decision what's next. (~.~)""

A/Prof Ng gave me alot of information which you probably can find most of them on the net but I was more curious abt the process and tada... my simple form of intrepretation:

To be 100% sure the cause of this UTI, you can opt to do all of the following::

1. utrasound - to check on kate's kidney change and her urinary bladder
2. DMSA (Cant rem the actual term) - Some medicine will be inject into her vein which will be received by her kidney. Pictures will be taken to check if there has been scarring due to her recent high fever
3. MCU - Saline will be injected into her bladder to assess if her urine flow is going dual way. I.e. going back to kidney which should not be the case.

As for me, I feel that I would rather wait till the next episode of UTI occurrence (*touch wood*) before going through all of the above.

As for now, I opt for utrasound and regular check up on her status.
I was actually very impressed with KKH service.
Utrasound was arranged immediately, followed by collecting kate's urine for another round of test.
I received her report barely an hour! In fact,immediately after I was done collecting Kate's urine.
A/Prof Ng  bothered to call me to see him and he passed me her report. WOW!
Kate's kidneys are of normal size and configuration. No sign of scarring, blockage or malfunction. PHEW!

As for Kate, she was really COOL about the whole thing.
These pix tells it all

She did not move throughout the 15 mins of utrasound.
She did not move when A/Prof check her too!
Amazing isnt it!

Love you Kate!

Information sharing: How to reduce fever using egg white

Little Kate is having a fever right now. Highest at the moment : 39.7  - lowest: 37.2
Had brought her to the doc but still her fever is like the roller coaster

My mom came over and use the traditional method of boiled egg.
What she does was to roll the boiled egg over her body. this is a remedy left behind by my grandma. it is supposed to remove the heaty-ness in her body

Being curious, I surf the net and found this useful article Fever Cures by the Earth Clinic
The method is a little diff from what mom has done and I'm gona try it out my self right now

Some extract from Earth Clinic
"
from Ontario, Canada writes, "Hi, Ani again. In regards to the egg white for fever remedy I'd like to make a suggestion. I've noticed some people are writing that they use face cloths or towels to soak up the egg white and put on the feet. I doubt the remedy will be as effective if done that way. The material shouldn't be overly absorbent, my mom used old fashioned kerchiefs because they don't absorb too much themselves but are functional in that they hold on to the egg white. Seems people have had luck with using paper towels. Just make sure whatever you're using to put on the feet is completely soaked and dripping with the egg whites. You might have to use several eggs, not just one or two. When done properly this remedy is sure to work."
