When we took Thomas back in today there was NO sugar in his urine and his blood sugar was normal. We can not tell you how relieved we were and are. His cbc showed a bit of a bacterial infection, he still has fever ( but is totally fine, just happy Thomas ) she suspects maybe strep? We never use antibiotics in this family unless they are really warranted and I trust Dr. Hutton, so on another rx we go. With West just getting over his infection we don't want to go there again if we don't have to. Once Thomas is better we are going to do weekly urine test to see if he has elevated sugars again. Dr. Hutton said that our kidneys spill sugar over every day just not in the amounts that he had. She said some meds will cause you to spill more, some viruses may also, and some people have issues where they spill more than they should. What she wants to do is wait until he is better and then start testing him if they find a high one than they will check his blood sugar also, if it presents itself again than we will go from there if not we will stay where we are. I have to brag on Thomas he is such a sport! Bc he is not potty trained he has to where a bag in order to get the urine, not fun as it has adhesive that holds it in place and is a bag that hangs down in between your legs..When you go to take it off it pulls and is not comfortable. He does so well with it and leaves it there until he goes. I did not have a bag at home and bc it took 3 hours for him to go to the bathroom yesterday the last thing I wanted to do was to go in and have to wait 3 hours so I made a bag on my own with masking tape and a sandwich bag, he is such a trooper to let his mom tape this thing on him! Once we got there he had gone and he told everyone, " We get to take the bag off now!" What a sweetie! Thank you for your prayers for Thomas.
On another note I was wondering why it is my children that seem to have these wild issues going on and I think it is bc Dr. Hutton goes to links that most peds don't. Urine test, cbcs in her office etc..Other Dr's seem to write rxs at the drop of a hat and not go looking for what could be the cause assuming that it may a virus? I am so thankful that we have such a wonderful Dr who goes to such lengths to ensure the health of the boys.
