Poor Sasha

I guess we will be heading back to specialists for Sasha soon. Most of you know she was born with kidney reflux, which they expected her to outgrow. She went some years without a kidney infection so we assumed she had.

Within the last 6 months or so she has had some symptoms returning. She seems to have a very classic kidney infection, and when it becomes obvious we can't kick it- we go to the DR to get medicine to help. Her labs haven't been classic though. For some reason her bacteria count isn't as high as they would expect for her symptoms but her ketones are well higher than they would expect- even if she has eaten fine. That said, her sugar isn't as high as you would expect if the ketones were caused by diabetes.

So we don't really know what is going on, but we will probably be seeing a specialist before long. She is sick this weekend, hopefully she will feel better soon. Poor baby :(
