Olivia is sick-please pray! Possible Melamine poisoning!

Olivia had her big adoption exam yesterday - very informative for me- 10 vials of blood drawn from Olivia! Olivia had had a mild stomach bug over the weekend- we told the doctor she had had some mild diarrhea & vomiting. By the time we left she was still running a low grade fever. I went to work late & Mike called later that Olivia had spiked a high fever- up to 103. After running some tests in the office- we found out she had strep- so she got a Rocephin shot ( A strong antibiotic) and I thought we would be OK.

At 0900 her adoption specialist called- concerned for Olivias labs. At first I thought it was strep related figuring her WBC count would be high- then she told me her U/A was also very abnormal & her kidney function tests were very alarming high. :-O They are concerned she may have Melamine poisoning! China had a scare of tainted formula that causes kidney stones, UTI, renal failure and even death if left untreated!!! How could someone have poisoned my precious little girl for a mere profit!!!??????

We repeated her labs and urine- thankfully the kidney function was improved some today- but the urine still shows a lot of blood & protein - both indicators of possible melamine exposure! She got another shot since she is still running a fever up to 101. She will have more studies- an ultrasound to look for kidney stones & a VCUG ( to test for urinary reflux- fluid backing up her ureters) on Friday at Vanderbilt.

I am grateful to have discovered this so soon- but please pray God will heal her of any permanent damage this may have caused her kidneys.
