Well, as far as Cora is concerned, she’s fine. Her fever left a few days ago and hasn’t returned. Her urine analysis shows nothing abnormal (We both let out a collective breath of relief when we got the news). I still need to talk to her doctor, but I’m really hoping this means no further…

First of all, a huge thank you to everyone for your outpouring of support during this incredibly difficult time. Today we took Cora to her pediatrician, who is pretty sure that Cora’s kidneys aren’t working properly. She sent orders to a local hospital for Cora to start a bunch of tests that sound like absolutely…

So here are the details… Tonight Cora (the baby) spiked a pretty high fever (after five days of being perfectly okay, after finishing her 10 day cycle of antibiotics). I called her on-call pediatrician, who told us to take her to InstaCare and get her urine tested ASAP, in case her UTI didn’t go away…

I’m sorry this is so late, but you can look back at my previous few posts to see why it was late. Thank you for being patient with me. This round was really, really hard for me to judge because it had so many incredibly strong contesters and just about every book really interested me…

Here’s the end of the story. I got the call at work on Thursday from Cora’s doctor. It turns out this whole thing was caused by a run of the mill bladder infection. The object lesson we can all take away from this is: Make sure your kids aren’t misdiagnosed, mmm’kay. We have her on…

So, my baby, Cora (10 months) has been sick. Here’s a rundown of events, which I’m basically putting in one place because I have friends and family who want an update and things have been so piece-by-piece on Facebook and etc that it’s nice to just point everyone to one post where it’s all laid…
