The pediatric urologist didn't see any indication that Cooper's episode was anything other than an infection. Yay!!
Because Cooper had an infection at such a young age, he is susceptible to another infection in the next few months. Therefore, he will be on a lower dose of antibiotics until he's 6 months old. By then his immune system will be more developed and better able to keep him healthy.
On one hand, antibiotics for that long sounds like a lot to us. On the other hand, we REALLY don't want him to get sick again, so we will follow doctor's orders :)
We will also repeat the ultrasound in 6 months to make sure the kidney looks like it's back to normal.
Relieved,
Kirsta & Michael

Great report from the doc! Can Cooper take probiotics? We found some for Sofia that say good for 0-2 years old--1/2 teaspoon 1-2 x per day (Nature's Way brand). We try to give it to her and her sister following or during any antibiotic treatment.
