Last Wednesday Nyla was admitted to the hospital with a urinary tract infection which caused her to have high fevers..... and she was barely even 3 weeks old =(
The doctor did blood tests, a spinal tap, a urine test and a stool test. It was so heart wrenching to hear her crying through all this and I kept wishing that I could the take pain and discomfort in her place.
Thank goodness she's well now and she was discharged from the hospital after 4 days.
My little girl was so brave throughout it all and even managed to gain half a kilogram despite having fevers and being put on the drip.
After we left the hospital, we still had to return twice a day for the intravenous antibiotic drip which takes over an hour each time to administer. This went on for three days before the doctor agreed to remove the drip plug and give her oral antibiotics for the next 10 days.
Its been a real challenge for me as the daddy man left for Thailand last Sunday morning when Nyla was just 3 weeks old and I've had to handle her by myself every day and night while taking care of Nyx and Nya too. But all this is worth it whenever I look at the children......
