Thursday Test Results

Annie's chest x-ray shows clear lungs with no evidence of aspiration or pneumonia.

Annie's spinal x-ray looked fine, so they don't plan to do a CT scan.

The upper GI study was unremarkable.

The renal sonogram showed good kidney function but also showed pyelonephritis in her right kidney. So the current plan is to lengthen her bactrim treatment to treat her kidneys. We don't believe she's gotten any benefit from the oral form with all her vomiting, so we hope the IV form will start to help her feel better. If not, we'll get neurology on board to explore other possibilities.

Our urologist still believes that the UTI and kidney infection are secondary to something else going on, but we'll just have to wait and see how she does on the bactrim.

Results from the blood culture will take a couple days, but so far her ESR looks good.
