Friday morning I went into Haley's room to find she had peed through her night time diaper. Which if you remember, was the first indicator to her last two UTIs. So, I conversed with Brandon and decided to bring her in to be tested. Which was a decision that did not come easy... With all of the pain it causes her... fighting off the nurses when they try to catheterize her. It is sooo traumatizing (as I've mentioned previously). For both Haley and I (and Brandon too, when he is there). Because the nurse I spoke to at the Urologist office told me that she could not have an infection when she has her test on the 25th, we figured we better not wait to see if she develops a fever. I got her in at 3:00pm that day.
We saw Andrea, the same Nurse Practitioner as last time. She was great. I told her all of Haley's symptoms, she examined Haley by pressing on her tummy and looking at her bottom. After doing so she decided not to go through the process of taking a urine sample. She said Haley was definitely constipated, and not to worry about baths so much right now. She said it could very well be hurting her to sit in the water because of the backed up poo' in her. That also could be causing the extra pee at night. So until we get the poo' out, we will sponge bathe. I haven't washed her hair since Thursday night now, so it is getting pretty greasy. I am going to try and wash it in the sink tonight if she will lay still on the counter for me. We will see!
On a different note... We ended up staying the night at my parent's house that night. We did a bunch of running around after the appointment and were pretty pooped by the time we got back to their house. I had picked up a Power Wheels Barbie Trailrider (4-Wheeler) for Haley at a garage sale earlier in the day, and when I was putting it in the bed of my truck (by myself, no thanks to the seller) I didn't quite clear the tailgate while lifting the toy up it twisted my wrist really hard and I felt something pop. From then on while driving down to Haley's appointment and the rest of the weekend it hurt. I must have sprained it or something. It still snap, crackles and pops if I don't have this wrist wrap on (which I happened to already have). It seems to help quite a bit!
Saturday we hung out at my parents house until about 4pm. They went to a wedding and wanted us to stay so we could feed and let out the dogs so they could hang out at the wedding for a while. Christy stopped by to hang out and get ready for the wedding she was going to later that afternoon. After Haley's nap we fed the dogs and left. Stopped at Kmart to find a battery and charger for the Power Wheels. No luck there so I called the Forest Lake Walmart to see if they had what I needed. The person I spoke to told me they had a combo package with both the battery and the charger. That made me excited! So we ran up there quick and found that it was not the right battery. Boo! Picked up some hot dogs for dinner and a few other things in the new grocery store part of Walmart, and went home without a battery or charger. I did find both items at Batteries Plus, but they wanted $39.99 for each item! No way I was going to spend $80 on a used toy that I am not sure will work even if I get these things! I've done some looking online, and it looks like I will have to order them.
Brandon hired two teenagers from work to come over and work on our yard. One pulled weeds and the other mowed the lawn twice (the grass was super long so Brandon wanted it done the first time at 4" and the second time at 3.5") and pulled the sweeper to pick up the grass clippings. They were there for about 4 hours, but it was so hot they decided to come back and finish either later this week or this coming weekend. Already it is looking good though! I am pretty excited to see the finished product. Our yard has definitely been neglected for the last couple of years with how much Brandon has been working.
Well today's almost done. One more day of work, then I have Wednesday off. But it won't be fun and games! Haley and I will be up extra early. We have to pick up Grandma on the way and be to Children's (United) in Saint Paul by 7:30AM. It is definately nice to split up the week by having Wednesday off, but I am NOT looking forward to it this time. I'd like to just skip this week until 5:00PM Friday, our 5 year Wedding Anniversary!
