18 Month Check-Up and ER Visit

Well, S had her 18 month check-up on Monday. She had been running a fever since Sunday night so she didn't get her shots. The Dr thought the fever was from teething or a virus. S is growing like she should, and doing all the things she should be doing so the Dr was very pleased!

On Tuesday S still had a fever and hadn't been drinking or peeing very much. I took her into Urgent Care to have her checked out again. No ear infection. No strep. Hmmm. So Dr in UC said to give her anti-nausea pills and wait 2 hours, if she doesn't drink or pee in 2 hours take her to the ER for fluids if she needs them. 2 hours later we were sitting in the ER. They took blood, got a urine sample with a catheter that she HATED, and strapped her into this crazy machine to take chest x-rays. We waited around the ER for 2.5 hours and found out S has a UTI. Poor baby girl :( Got her on some good anti-biotics and today she is already doing better! She has been drinking and peeing and has actually been happy and playing! Yay!

Husband is doing well also. He decided to start taking his Wellbutrin that the Dr prescribed him a couple weeks ago and it seems like its helping. He was in a pretty good mood today! The city people came by the house today to dig up our front yard to find our main water shut off. I now have a 4 foot hole in my front yard...yay! Hopefully no one falls in it. Ha!
