Well yesterday was a shocker of a day for us. Zara is a little jaundice so she ahd a heel prick test yesterday and the levels came back abit too high so the doctor called me and asked me to go back that day to do another one to monitor them. So we were shopping, (new maternity bra's for me Woo Hoo!) and so we head over to Sullivan Nicholaides to see Cathy, my lovely needle nurse. So poor Zara had to have another heel prick test and she also had a wee test. I had a little stress as she wasnt jaundice at the hospital, it has come on since she left and it scared me that there was something wrong.
That afternoon I was chatting to my mum waiting for my friend to come over so we can catch up and I can show off Zara properly when the doctor rang and left a message saying her billiruben levels are dropping steadily adn she doesnt need anymore tests, yay. Then she calls my mobile straight away, and tells me that she got the urine results and they were abnormal and that we need to take Zara into the hospital now, well that is more of a scare than I needed. I hung up and burst into tears with mum who was still on the other line, then Megan turned up so when Daniel got home from picking up Caitlin she took her to her house for the night and off we went to the hospital.
We didnt really have to wait too long there, the doctor we had was great,(and a spunk too, just on the side!) he asked lots of questions and after I told him that she eats, sleeps, wees and poos like a perfect baby I think he was just wondering why we had been sent there. He explained that sometimes the samples are contaminated by the skin and that we need to get a clear sample, from a catheter. Oh my poor little poppet! She screamed, she was not impressed with this at all, and rightly so, but part way through she did a wee and they caught it in a jar and luckily didnt need to continue.
After waiting ages for the doc to come back he said that our healthy baby is in fact a healthy baby and we should go home and enjoy her.
So it was just a contaminated sample, gosh I can tell you I was so upset and so worried! We have never had more than an ear infection with Caitlin so I really didnt know how I would cope if my little baby girl was sick. I am so greatfull that she is ok, more than ok, she is perfect! |
