We took Harper to the doctor about a week ago because she couldn't kick a small fever she had had for a few days. They diagnosed her with a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection). Her doctor wanted to run some tests (kidney and bladder scans) to see if she had any reflux because he said that UTIs at such an early age with a high ecoli count were fairly uncommon. Well, we spent the morning today at the hospital (Harper was a trooper) watching our little girl get poked and prodded in all the wrong places. We won't get the "official" results until her doctor has seen the results, but everyone today said that all her "plumbing" looked good. So the infection is probably due to "normal" little girls stuff (poo getting into her urethra). We are quite relieved at this preliminary news as the alternative are way worse.
