Poor Baby  

Trands darling you know how much I appreciate you keeping my family in my thoughts! i appreciate you offering your comfort and support- thank you! Hugs xxx

cripfemme I am so sorry to hear that you have suffered for so long with uti's - I know how unpleasant they are and how badly they can affect you, Niamh has ended up in hospital with dehydration due to uti's several times despite our best efforts! Thank you so much for your advice and I will give it a try! I think blueberry juice is becoming more available here now and i will look out for it when I go shopping tonight! Hope you stay well xxxx

They gave her canesten cream and she is a lot more comfortable now! You being here and offering your hugs and prayers means more than anything sweety! Love and Hugs xxx

awww your welcome hugs and blessings

Sudocreme is a wonderful invention isn't it? I have used it for over 14 years as Niall was allergic to Lanolin which was in a lot of products back then and I have continued to use it for many things ever since! It is great on cuts and grazes as well! Niamh has been prescribed a special cream for Thrush til we find out if we need yet more antibiotics and it is helping to soothe it! Thank you heavens my darling I really appreciate your support and prayers! Hugs xxx

Goodie it is wonderful to see you! We are getting used to it as she has been going through this since she was months old - it doesn't stop us fretting about it however , it is awful to watch her go through this time and time again! Thank you for that advice, the yeast is probably a good idea and to be honest she does eat yoghurt but it is usually the petit filou type and I don't know if that is as effective! xxx

I think all yogurt would be fine, but the natural (YUK) would be better.
Stopping her from eating foods which contain yeast will be a big help.

I will do my best to try and implement both of these ideas Goodie! Good grief I sounded rather posh then did I not! lol xxx

Waaaah are you telling me now after all this time you are not posh.

What me? Posh? Nae chance , I'm as common as muck me , had you not noticed? lol xxx

Oh No what am I to do now. I thought I had 1 posh friend, now I find out you are just like me.

lets go on a posh friend hunt here on mylot! Where shall we start do you think? xxx

I somehow think I will have to look further afield then my friends list.

Hmmm Well if I was your only hope we really are struggling! lol xx

Now I feel I shall never have a posh friend.Sadly you were my one last hope.

How about if I pretend to be posh! xxx

Yes I think we shall have to go with your plan of attack, I fear we will be hard pushed to find anyone else nearly as worthy as you.

I shall take that as a compliment although I am not sure that is the case! lol xx

Of course it was a compliment Mo, afterall I always thought you were posh.

LOL I never realised you were so naive sweetheart! lol Hugs xxx

Thanks Mam! I know salt is effective but I think it would really, really sting her just now! They have given her canesten cream and it is helping to soothe her!I will give her extra hugs just from you and Grandpa! xxxx

please give her hugs and remind her we love her xx

Sure will mam - will do it in the morning before she goes to school! xxx

She is much better today honey - thanks! It isn't as bad as some of the previous times and fingers crossed she won't get any worse! Thanks for your best wishes xxx

She hasn't actually seen a urologist but she has had a kidney scan which was seemingly okay - they did tell me she would probably need another scan when she was about 7 or 8! She mainly has showers now but even when she had a bath we could not put anything in it at all. I really want to avoid her going on lon term antibiotics if I can help it as she is already allergic to the penicillin group of antibiotics! Thank you so much for all your advice my friend, it is very much appreciated! xxx

We do try to avoid antibiotics unless they are vital Mooch - she already has limited options as she is allergic to the penicillin family and although her one and only experience with them was when she was a baby she will never be able to take them as her reaction was systemic and could be potentially fatal! They are hopeful that she will grow out of these UTI's but not sure by any means! She will probably have another kidney scan in a year or two just to check out how things are - the last one was ok although one kidney was not as effective but still not serious! I will let you know how things go! xxx

Aww Dana I know how terrible this is and how horrible it must have been for you! Niamh is allergic to penicillin and that family of antibiotics so I do try to avoid taking them unless absolutely necessary as I don't want her to become immune to any!
I will have to look into homeopathy and whether we have any practitioners here! Thank you sweetheart and huge hugs from Niamh and Ixxxx
ps I do hope you are ok sweety - it is really good to see you! xxxx
