Bloody Murky Urine

Rasa bersalahla pulak after last night. He went to bed close to 1am still with about 4 more Math booklets to complete. This morning, from the moment he woke up to noon, he must have been going to the toilet like 10 times or more to urinate.

He was continuing with his Math homework when he suddenly started going to the toilet like every 3 minutes. The last couple of times I followed him and saw a tiny pinkish red/ white strand came out while he was trying to pee. He said his pee has been red since this morning and that he had a pain every time he peed in his lower tummy and his penis. His urine couple of minutes after that turned out to be murky brown/ red color.

Apa lagi, terus siap pergi Damansara Specialist Hospital... Punyala ramai... They had a full staff at the A & E trying to entertain each one of us... The waiting area was full. Sampai je kat hospital Rayyan had to go pee again. Just in case, I asked Ja to put on an XXL pull ups for Rayyan, takut tak tahan nak terkencing dalam kereta.

Got the urine test done and found bacteria, protein, and blood in his his urine. His red and white blood cell count was more than 500 units when it should have been 0 to 10. The doctor is also getting the bacteria cultured, to see what bacteria is causing this bleeding. The result of that would probably be ready within a week.

The doctor even called Dr Azizi, Rayyan's paedetrician, to see if the medication she prescribed is suitable. Dr Azizi requested the antibiotic to be Zinnat, instead of Augmentin which was initially prescribed. So it's 200mg or 8 mL of that twice a day.. And PCM syrup for the pain while peeing... Try that for 7 days, come back, test for urine again and see Dr Azizi. That's what we'll do.

Where is Rayyan now? With Ja at BookXcess... Buying more books. Besok ada birthday party for a 2-yo. Great place to buy books as gifts.

Balk je from hospital tadi Rayyan no longer needs to go pee every few minutes. I guess most of the bacteria has been flushed out. Just needs to drink more water.

Tula pasal... Timing baik.. hehe. Dah 2 hari dah tak sambung buat homework dia. His urine has been clear since we got back from the hospital. The frequency of going to pee has been reduced to almost normal. Dah tak sakit bila pee, he says he feels normal now.
