The Great Kidney Infection

Poor Scarlet.
She started having a low grade fever on Tuesday night.
It was gone by Wednesday morning so she went off to school with no signs of sickness or discomfort.
But Wednesday night it was back.
And it soared.
 
 She literally laid on the floor and screamed in pain all. day. long.
For. 48. hours.
We went to the doctor twice.
The antibiotics were not working fast enough so she had to have a shot to her little bum.
For a child who had to be born 2 months early due to renal failure, a kidney infection IS A BIG DEAL.
I literally slept next to her on the floor in my room for 2 nights to make sure she didn't die.
And woke her up every hour to make sure fluids were in her body.
 
After those hellish days, the medication kicked in, her fever came down, and she was able to finally get some sleep, and have relief from her pain.
I am so grateful for modern medicine!!
