As most of you know, Piper was born on Aug 10, 2010, she had a high temp, a high whie blood cell count and high respirations. The staff thought it was probaby just a traumatic birth for her, she was, afterall, born in 5 contractions! Her Ped (Dr. John & Frank Calcagno) ran a variety of tests that all came back negative. So on Aug 12 we took her home.
She continued to breath quickly and on Monday, Aug 23rd John and I started to feel concerned so we took her to Emanuel Children's Hospital. Her temp was 102 degrees, her white blood cell count was 31,000 (should be about 15,000). After multiple tests and pokes they determined that she has a kidney infection/UTI. We have continued to monitor her, keep tabs on her temp and give her an antibiotic.
What an experience. I though Tristan having jaundice was rough. That paled in comparison.
We are all home and on the road to healthy now. Tris loves his little sister and is always loving on her. I will try and update this page a few times a week so all can keep up on our little family.
Thanks to all who prayed! You are appreciated!
