when do you start to worry

At the age of 15 mo my daughter got very ill, and was misdiagnosed for TWO weeks. It wasn't until I got very stern...ok down right nasty with my doc office that they took it more seriously and found a UTI. Becouse of the severity she had to have injections for several days followed by oral antibiotics. (This caused other issues that we are still dealing with at 21 mo.) 2 mo later she was diagnosed with kidney reflux. Her Urologist is great and says that she could outgrow it...however everyone I have talked to with this illness has had to proceed with the surgery. I am also worried about the antibiotics (currently taking a sulfa bases suspension) even though they are low dose. Dose anyone have any thoughs on how many children actually out grow it? Also when do you worry about a fever? When is it worth getting catherized for a sample. And why do I get resistance when I call and want one done...due to symptoms of course. Any thoughts would be wonderful.
