Isaac

Lately I have been noticing that Isaac has been going to the bathroom a lot lately. This always perks my interest since I have had so many battles with bladder infections, UTI's, as well as almost Kidney infections (not a good activity!) I was trying to figure out if he said he had to go to the bathroom because he wanted to get out of doing chores, or if he really had something going on. I received a note from his teacher on Tuesday stating that he had been using the bathroom quiet often, and that it had been recently. Isaac might try to get away with things at home, but when it comes to school he is the teachers pet. : ) Anyway so I asked him if it hurt to go potty, which I have done before this and each time he has replied no, I just have to go potty.

I told him that if it hurts that he needs to tell me so that I can get him help and make it better. Wednesday Morning he said that it felt like a bee had stung him when he went pee. I made an appointment for Isaac to see the doctor, for that afternoon. I kept him home, and by the time we went to the doctor I thought I might have made a mistake because he was bouncing off the walls. hahahaha

We had him go potty in a cup and turned it in. The doctor examined him and said that everything looked normal from the outside, so I thought okay we are good. Then the results came back and said they found traces of blood in his urine and red blood cells. If it had been white blood cells that would have meant there was an infection, but there wasn't any.

The doctor said he wants to rule out Kidney Stones so we have an ultrasound on Monday afternoon. I have a feeling that the doctor feels it is something else but wants to rule out the Kidney Stones first. After that we will go from there. The doctor thinks there might be a blockage, if there isn't any Kidney Stones, among other things. He wouldn't really get into it. We should get our results back hopefully anywhere in between 24 to 48 hrs. We will be keeping everyone updated. : )
