On Sunday we took Ella into Urgent Care after church. She had been complaining for several days that it hurt to pee. We had called her pediatrician, whose nurse had told us to give her vinegar baths and see if that helped. It didn't. So the doctor at Urgent Care decided we needed to do a urinalysis to determine if she had an infection. Hard to do a urinalysis on a two year old who isn't potty trained. So, we'd have to use a catheter, but he and his nurse weren't comfortable using a catheter on a two year old. So he sent us over to the peds unit at the hospital. Thankfully some friends of our had taken Gracie to the beach with them so she didn't have to witness the trauma. Hubby and I managed to hold back the tears while we held her down and whispered to her that she'd be okay. UGH. It was terrible you guys. The urinalysis confirmed she did indeed have a bladder infection and we were able to get her on antibiotics. Thankfully, it's over, and I pray we never have to cath any of our small children ever again.
