First Cytogam Infusion and IV Antibiotics

We were at the hospital for the better part of the day. The original reason for the trip was Katie's first Cytogam infusion. This is the med she needs to fight the EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus) antibodies that I have and she didn't. Dr. M came over to see is while we were there and let us know that her creatinine is still stable at 0.7, and her BUN is at 18 down from 25 last week. However, the last urinalysis showed another increase in her white blood cell count. That combined with the fact that Katie has some tenderness over the site of the new kidney lead Dr. M to be concerned that we aren't treating the UTI aggressively enough. So, we had an IV infusion of antibiotics while we were there, and we have to go back to the peds ER tomorrow (yes that's Thanksgiving Day) and Friday to have two more infusions. Tomorrow it will be the Mommy and Katie team so that Daddy can stay home to cook. Friday we're not sure who will take her, we'll figure that out tomorrow based on how it actually goes tomorrow and how I'm feeling. The ER attending is *supposed to be* expecting us and is *supposed to have* the orders for what needs to be done, but, well, we'll believe it when we see it. Wish us luck.
