Tonya, Day Two
Day Two,
The doctor came in this morning and told Tonya she had a kidney infection. We thought this was very fast since it usually takes a minimum of 24 hours for a preliminary culture report to come back. It had only been about 12 hours or so since a urine specimen had been taken. The doctor told me today no preliminary report had been received yet and that he based the infection on the White Blood Cell count which was in the urine. It was 30,000. He said this was unusually high and normally when she comes to the hospital the count is 5 - 10. He has begun antibiotics and so far her temp has been normal today. For now there are no special tests scheduled but it takes a minimum of 3 days for the urine culture to come back.
The only major problem with Tonya being in the hospital this week is that our son is supposed to come home for the weekend, this weekend. Tonya is very upset about being in the hospital and doesn't know if she will get ot come home by Saturday or not as of yet. She is going to ask the doctor if she can come home Friday and continue treatments on home health. Maybe this will take place, we hope. That's about it for now. We will see what day three holds for tomorrow but i'm not expecting any new developments.
Until tomorrow,
Brian
