Protein Bump

Ada was very worried yesterday when she did her protein test and it was up to a 2+ (it has been holding at neg with an occational trace). Since she didn't get her test done until afternoon I told her not to worry about it and we would just make sure we did the test first thing in the morning and would be extra careful about sodium just in case.

(protein leakage tends to increase in normal bodies after they have been active or when fighting illness)

This morning she tested at a 1+. She has bumped up to a 1 for a couple of days before, so we will just be watching closer until it comes back down. We don't need to worry unless it maintains this level for a week, or she spikes to a 3 or 4+ for more than a day or two.

We'll keep you posted

Yes, please do keep us posted. Hopefully this is just a slight bump, and not an off-road journey. :-)
