Well, it has been a crazy few weeks. I took Henlee in for her 6 month check up... about a month and a half ago... and mentioned that her urine had a different smell to it. That led to a urine culture and come to find out she had a UTI.

Later that week, we found out that it was due to E Coli! :( So thinking that it was a wiping issue, we treated it and paid it no mind. The doctor wanted us to have another series of tests done at the hospital though. So we did them... an ultrasound and then a test to see if she was refluxing urine up to her kidneys. Thinking everything was going to turn out negative.

Nope... she is refluxing urine up to her kidneys. She will have to stay on antibiotics for the next 6 months, testing every so often for more infections.

She is such a sweet and happy baby that if I didn't mention the change in smell, we would have never known. No fever, no fussiness... just sweet spirited Penny :)
