So begins the battle.

The battle of the UTI... UTI's are a side effect of a tethered cord and HIA and we honestly are lucky that it took 4 months to get one. We are running a 102 fever and feel pretty rotten. Although she is not dehydrated if she doesn't start eating we will be in trouble in more ways than one! I am honestly surprised that they didn't admit us today.
To make matters even worse my milk supply is all but GONE and all the doctors act like its no big deal. IT IS A BIG DEAL and if I can't find someone here to understand that I will be headed somewhere ELSE! SOON. I feel like a ticking time bomb. We have ONE week's milk supply and then we are in trouble there! So if anyone wants to be a pumping wet nurse to help Ky out I will PAY!!!!!!!! Wet nurse for hire!
We are headed to the lactation consultant to try and see if she has any suggestions.
Dr. Levitt emailed me back from Cincy!!! That was nothing short of amazing!!! Around here its like an act of Congress and actually corresponding directly with your doctor is UNHEARD of!!!
Say a prayer... my head is splitting open and my boobs are drying up! Lord help us all!

How you make me laugh about the drying up boobs. Believe it or not, you and the little woman are going to be just fine. I keep you all in my prayers.
Hey Amber. I had the same milk problems with my baby girl. The doctor/lactation consultant prescribed me "Reglan" which is a drug that induces laction. It's actually a acidreflux helper. I took it during pregnancy to help with indigestion. You might ask if they can prescribe you that.
