We went to the doctor today and Micah still does not have a UTI. He is in pain every time he goes to the bathroom and was complaining of his back hurting today. He is pointing to an area that is actually lower than his kidneys. I guess this is good. He woke up this morning screaming in pain. Not a nice way to wake up. The doctor wanted to put him on a medicine that would actually numb his urinary tract for a couple of days so he would not hurt when he went so he would actually go more often. I think this is part of the problem, it hurts to go so he doesn't want to go. He really needs to go more and drink more but he is not doing that. He is too young for this medicine anyways so he can't be put on it. He is taking bactrum instead just to make sure there is not an infection somewhere. We got him a frozen cherry drink tonight and he drank quite a bit of it. The dinner went well tonight but Micah did not want to go near the water or the fire trucks. He did take a sticker from one of the firemen though. Also, I did talk to Dr. Ham's office (neurosurgery) and they did say it's normal for kids who have this surgery to not eat well for a while. Micah does seem to eat ok. In fact, he is back up to 30 pounds as of today! We just need to work on the drinking part.
