One of Those Months?

Okay, this is not a trend that I want to be experiencing right now...not only is "Little Man" battling pneumonia right now, but we found out this afternoon that "Feisty Girl" is also having some issues -- not with pneumonia but it could be just as bad, or worse.

Two weeks ago we had her in for a routine well-child check and during the visit she received her kindergarten shots and also had a routine blood draw and urinalysis.  The next day (which has now been a little over two weeks ago) we received a call from her doctor telling us that she had a "very significant amount of blood" in her urine.  He thought it might be a fluke, but could also be a sign of something more serious, so he asked us to bring her back in to be retested in two weeks.

Last Friday was the two week mark so we went back to the clinic and they did another urinalysis.  Today, "Feisty Girl's" nurse called and said that the results were essentially the same -- not good news.  Soooo...now we need to make an appointment for her to see a pediatric urologist for a consult and also make an appointment for a renal ultrasound.  I'm trying to keep a level head and believe that it will all turn out to be "nothing" but that is hard to do.  Especially with thoughts creeping into my mind of the whole melamine scandal in China that broke during the very time (July 2008) that we were in China finalizing "Feisty Girls" adoption.  I'm sure there is no connection to the issues that she is having now, but it does make me pause to contemplate the possibilities.  Especially since the long-term effects of exposure is not well-known.  So for now well just wait, pray, and take things day-by-day!
