Round 2 with Darah...Dad's UA came back positive..he does still have a UTI. They are starting him on Sipro(sp) today. She did not have his weight in front of her...again...I'm sitting here waiting on a third call. Ok, Darah called and Dad's weight is back to 143. She said they had been taking Dad down to a quiet area to eat and they'd been pushing some flavored waters and the weight gain drink. I mentioned to her about the Melatonin(herb) that Dad has been taking for a natural sleep aid and whether she thought that might be contributing to his UTI's. She said yes. Do we want to stop it and see if it helps? Also, they have cranberry pills as a natural aid to UTI's..I said start Dad on those dudes...is everyone ok with this? Also, Darah is going to look into cranberry juice instead of coffee...coffee is also not a good thing for UTI chronic patients. If they do not have cranberry juice, we would have to supply it. Is everyone ok with providing cranberry juice if LNC doesn't have it? I know Dad loves his coffee, but being UTI free is more important I think..yes? Ok, I've got to go...I have a Spring Creek open house in like an hour and I'm not even dressed!! Love you, Jamie
