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!

Good Weekend

I've had a pretty good weekend. Yesterday my little sisters turned 7 so we had a party for them. They got a lot of presents and we all had a great time. S spent the weekend at Grandma and Papa's house. She had a blast! Lawn mower rides, pontoon rides, fishing, playing in the playhouse and chasing around the big girls. Oh and learning to go DOWN the steps on her own. Ugh she is going to give me a heart attack! She's growing up way too fast!

Husband had to work last night. I texted him a couple times and he actually texted me back! It wasn't a very long conversation but it was something. On my way home I got pulled over because my tail light was out. He just told me to get it fixed. Husband woke me up this morning around 4am while he was banging around in the kitchen. I got up and went to the bathroom and got a drink and asked Husband to fix my tail light before he comes to bed so I didn't get pulled over again. He did. He also left me a note telling me to not wake him to go to his parents house to get S in the morning. So I didn't. He also wants me to call the clinic for him tomorrow and try to get his appointment scheduled sooner. Not gonna happen. I left him the phone numbers to call, if he wants it changed he can do it himself. I need to stop enabling him and do things for myself now.

So this morning I got up and went to get S. Then we went to Owatonna and had Chinese for lunch with Megan and RaShia and then went grocery shopping. S is sleeping now then we will head outside since it is gorgeous out! That's all for now!
