Niamh's Progress!

I was just asked how my 5 year old daughter Niamh was and it reminded me that I had been meant to post this discussion! For all you guys out there who have been thinking of and/or praying for Niamh I thank you so much - I really appreciate it and it seems to have done some good! We had the hospital today and it seems she does not need another kidney scan at the moment, which I was really worried about as although she was brave at the last one it was not a very nice experience for her! They will however have to keep an eye on her as she continues to have protein in the urine and that could be a problem too! On the whole the news is good, Thank you all for caring and being so kind and supportive. Big hugs from Niamh and myself! xxxx

Is this still from the late night hospital visit you took awhile back? I am glad to hear she is doing better and hopefully she's good to go. So did they figure out what caused it?

Yeeha - have I missed you! Yes it is still from the same thing! She had another UTI - she has at least 2 or 3 every year and it is quite horrendous! She is almost 100% now and back at school! xxx

So glad to hear your little one's doing better. How do you pronounce her name by the way? I know what it's like to watch your child go through a traumatic experience knowing that you can't change it and that it is necessary that they go through it. Sending some good healthy vibes in Niamh's direction.~Zuri

Thank you zuri, although I am Scottish this is an Irish name that means 'radiant one' I was being hopeful when I named her but I have been lucky and most of the time the name suits her! xxxx

She's a tough cookie (chocolate chip variety) just like her ma! And it's not easy when your children go through these ordeals, and it's having to put on the brave face so that they know you are there and strong for them! Great news my special friend and sis, hugs xxx

I'm so glad to hear that she doesn't need another scan at the moment, as these types of tests are hard for anyone, and especially for kids. It's good too, that they're keeping a watch on her, and that she's getting such good care.

That is wonderful news, mummymo! Thanks so much for updating us. You are on my list for today to send a pm to and ask about her. Thanks for taking something off my to-do list for the day. :) I know she will be back to her antics and making us laugh in no time.

Great news! I understand what you mean, there are adults who are afraid of scans, so I can imagine what it must be like for a child. I´m so glad for you and for her that she´s feeling better. Big kiss for Niamh and a big hug for you, dear friend. XXX Dana

Give a big hug back to Niamhy from me. I am glad she is on the mend and doesn't need another scan. Have you ever heard the fold remedy of drinking cranberry juice to avoiud UTI's? They say if you do it regularly your urine is supposed to be too acidic or something like that for bacteria to grow. They make a very nice cran-raspberry mix!
