Another update on Piper...
The results from her tests came back positive for a UTI. That means more tests. She is going to have to have the ultrasound of her kidneys and bladder done and the VCUG. They won't be done until the end of the month, so we have a little while yet to go. I just found out from my neighbor that her daughter was diagnosed with the same thing at about three weeks old. She was given a 20% chance of geting better on her own. By the time she was about four years old, she had outgrown it!!! She had to be on an antibiotic every day and have the ultrasound and VCUG done about every 12-18 months. She also said that the upside of being on the antibiotic was that her daughter wasn't sick at all the first five years of her life. Soooo, please keep Piper in your prayers and Lord willing her tests will come back all okay.
