Good news (I hope). The dr decided not to admit her but rather to give her a shot of antibiotics & see how this goes. They did all kinds of test while we were there. We are finally just getting home after staying for an IV for hydration & it is 4:30AM. She has an appt on the 25th with the ENT to find out about having sinus surgery so the doc says we will re evaluate then.

They sent me home with these little containers, one that is empty & 1 that has red dye in it & told me that they need a stool sample to test for fat & for CDiff. Im not sure how to do it so it will be a long today tomorrow with trying to get a stool sample from my 5 year old & getting it to the lab.

Can anyone give me any info on Cdiff & how they get it? How is it treated?
