I wasn’t going to post this morning but then I thought some of you guys might wonder if something was wrong because I post every day. So, I thought I’d do a quick post just to tell you what’s going on.
So not the post I was planning on doing today. I had pictures of the kids on their scooters yesterday when we went for a walk. And Miss Katiana complaining every 10 seconds taht she couldn’t “keep the beat”, keep up with me. But, I’ll save those for tomorrow.
Katiana was fine all day yesterday. Completely fine. And then she got up from a late nap at about 5:00, and from 5 to 7 she was throwing up violently. 7 times before we even left the house. She seemed like she was in extreme pain. And I was nervous. I thought maybe constipation, but I’ve never seen her act like this when she’s constipated. It was bad. By 7:40 when we got to the hospital, she had thrown up 1 in the car, 1 in the parking lot, and one time in the hospital room trash can. So, 10 times in 2 1/2 hours.
They did an abdominal Xray, and she had a little stool in there. But there not sure if that is what is causing her throwing up. They also did a urine sample. And that’s why I’m a tad freaked out this morning. Kat has another UTI. And the ER doc then turned into Mr Doom and Gloom. Seriously nice guy, not the best way to tell me this.
He said, young children do not get UTIs. They don’t. And she needs to have this ultrasound done, and dye shot up her urethra for this test. Because if her urethra is not working properly and it’s spasming the urine back up into the kidneys, it is destroying her kidneys, and by the time she is 13 she’d be on dialysis 3 times a week if it’s not fixed now. HUH? WHOA! You just came out and told me you think this about my daughter right now? Ok. So, we’ve got an appointment with her doctor at 11:40 this morning.
The pharmacist told me that she couldn’t take her augmentin until she can hold food down. (Kat’s allergic to sulfa drugs, the ones they usually give you for a UTI.) I’m like, what am I supposed to do? She threw up again twice this morning when she was up and went back to sleep. I guess the augmentin is really hard on your tummy and you have to take it with food. If she can’t keep food down, she can’t take the antibiotic for her UTI. And the ER doc should have known this.
So, off we go this morning for a fun day of poor Kat getting poked and prodded again I’m sure. Although, if I know her doc, he’ll say there’s nothing to worry about. Now I need someone who falls right in the middle of not trying to freak me out completely and being to easy going.
Of course, Pato called me back in the middle of all this, and he is WIGGING out. I figured if I had to be stressed over what the doctor said, so he can he. Thank you very much. He’s off first thing this morning to talk to the agency that he is working on his visa with to see if it can’t be sped up because his daughter is very sick.
So, instead of cute pictures of kids on scooters, how about pictures of kids waiting in the hospital. These were on my phone.

Ok, I’m going to sign off because I have to get ready, and get the girls ready. Keep her in your prayers that it’s just a UTI and nothing more serious.
