Same Infection New Bacteria

The culture results came back today and showed the growth of a different bacteria than the one from the previous infection. A new abx is being faxed in to our pharmacy and Steve will pick it up on the way home. They also want to do an ultrasound tomorrow (when we're going to be at the hospital anyway for the next Cytogam infusion) to look at her native kidney as well as the transplanted kidney. Nancy said they will be looking for stones and/or debris. I think this is more precautionary than anything. Katie is not happy about the idea of having an ultrasound because they tend to push on your abdomen with the "probe" trying to get a good look at things. Luckily we know we will have our favorite ultrasound tech Oscar and I made sure with Nancy that they will be briefed on her anatomy and what to look for so they won't spend too much time trying to look for what they would find in a normal anatomied person.
