2:30 in the morning May 4th. We took Gauge back to the hospital. He was unconsolable. Screaming, sweating and had vomited.
We spent another five days in the hospital. We found out he was born with a urinary tract infection. He was on antiobiotics for about a month until we could get him in for a VCUG. This is where they inject die into his bladder and watch what happens, checking the fuctioning of his kidneys and his bladder. Luckily, he just has stage 1 Hydronephrosis and Stage 1 Kidney Reflux. This of course he inherited from his Mom! Anyway, he'll see a pediatric urologist until he is 5 and if we don't have any other problems, then they won't worry about it after that point!
We're so very lucky. Here's a pic of the Gauger in the hospital. We have a few more, but they all just look so sad, so I didn't want to post them. This was a pretty rough 5 days!
