Post-Op (days 5 & 6)

So the past 2 days have been R-O-U-G-H. Just when it seemed she might be improving she has become incredibly fussy and irritable. She's been constantly in tears it seems like. Its so frustrating because I can't understand her when she's crying and it is so difficult to get her to calm down. She ends up crying so long she wears herself out and falls asleep.

The last 24 hours she has begun crying every time she went potty. Not whining, but actual tears. She kept saying "owie" so I decided to make her a doctor appointment with her pediatrician. Turns out she has a urinary tract infection on top of everything else.

As if we weren't already struggling pushing liquids on her sore throat, we now have to push harder so we can flush the bacteria out of her system. Hopefully this all will being to reside soon and things will go back to normal.

  1. aww poor baby! i hope it does get better soon. UTI's suck! especially on a children because they have no idea why it hurts! did the doctor say maybe why she has a UTI? maybe the catheter?

    praying for her health as always!
