Prmary Complex Part 2

As promised, here's the update on my babies primary complex.

As per doctor's advise, I had my other daughter's have their X-ray. Of course, the results we're positive. Both results show they have primary infection.

Today, we went back to our pediatrician for the follow-up check up of the kids. We told him the results. I thought that was it. But, there is more. The children needs to undergo skin test first before he can conclude that it is really primary infection that they have. Aside from that, the older folks will have to undergo sputum test as well.

My baby girl on the other hand is getting better and better. She now weighs 6.9 kilos from 6.3 kilos in the past month.Also, he changed the dosage of our baby's medicine. They all went up. Isoniazid was adjusted from 1.5 ml to 2 ml, Rifampicin from 2.5 ml to 3 ml and Pyrazinamide from 3ml to 4 ml. Her vitamins (Pediafortan) was also adjusted from 2.5 ml to 4 ml. We will go back for another follow up check up after a month.

The family is still hoping that no one else is infected with this disease. It's stressful. Let alone painful, for the wallet!

We're still praying and hoping that this will soon end. Next update after a few weeks, perhaps.
