Fever, blood in the urine,,why didn't they check his kidneys? Did they test his blood counts? If this were my child I would have them doing every test until they figured out why so many fevers and blood in the urine. Doctors today are quick to brush you off when they can't figure out what's wrong but a reocurring fever is a sign that something is wrong, usually some type of infection in the body. Don't allow them to brush you off..get second opinions..demand more tests. I hope you find some answers soon and your son starts feeling better.
