Things have been plugging away lately. Last weekend we got together with one of our Spina Bifida family friends who have a daughter just a few months older than Leah. They also have a 4-year boy and they are both such cute and fun kids. We went over their house, and they had made this awesome sledding hill in their backyard... complete with curves and banks. Ty convinced me to send Leah down the hill by herself, though it totally freaked me out to watch my tiny little peanut all alone, she clearly had a lot of fun!
Last Monday night I noticed something was off with her. She was really cranky and she vomited all over when I was putting her to bed. She threw up again - twice - on Wednesday night, so we called Dr. Marker to see what's up. He wrote a prescription for an anti-nausea medicine thinking she has a stomach bug (that is apparently going around right now). But that just didn't seem right. I had noticed that she also kind of smelled funny and her pee stunk really bad. After doing a little bit of google-diagnosing, it seemed like she had all the symptoms of a urinary tract infection. Last summer Dr. Marker's nurse had sent us home with a few kits so we could take urine samples just for this reason. I dropped off a sample last Thursday and just got the call this morning that she does have a UTI. Ugh. Now that she has an antibiotic, hopefully she'll start acting more like herself.
