Kidney Infection :(

Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop with Miss Anna. We spent the afternoon at the hospital yesterday because she was running fever of 103 degrees for a few days and we couldn't seem to get it under control. We got there and they couldn't figure out the source of the fever so they gave her a catheter and checked her urine for bacteria. Unfortunately she does have bacteria and white blood cells in her urine- which means that she had a bladder infection that has now become a kidney infection. Apparently this can be a very serious condition for a baby, so keep her in your prayers. They had to give her a shoot yesterday to try to battle the bacteria that is causing this, and she has to go in today for another shoot and to check the cultures from the lab. She will have to go in Monday or Tuesday for an ultrasound to check the damage that this has done to her little kidneys.

Last night her fever peaked at almost 106 degrees, but it finally broke and even though she is weak right now she is acting more like herself than she has in a week, so I'm hoping that the shot is doing it's thing!
