The Sadie Saga!!
So here is just a quick update on my sweet Sissy.......We took her to Primary Children's Hospital two days ago to meet with the Urologist. She has to stay on antibiotics until they can do surgery on July 21st. They will have to cut both of her ureters from her bladder and reattach them. She will be in the hospital for 3-5 days and her recovery will be 1-2 weeks after that.

FAMILY TIME!!
We went camping as a family at Dowd Mountain. We had such a great time just relaxing, watching the kids play, sitting around the fire, eating yummy food, sleeping under the stars, and playing baseball!!! The kids are at such a fun age and so easy going these days. They are such a blessing to me.
Tuck can't do anything around water or mud without getting covered...its like a magnet he just cannot resist. This little guy makes me laugh everyday, he is my BESTEST buddy!
I absolutely love this beautiful little girl!! She can be such a sweetheart and we are excited for her to start feeling better so she can enjoy life a bit more.
Don't mind my double (maybe triple) chin....somethings never change. But doesn't my hunka-hunka burnin love look HOT?!!
These two can be best friends or worse enemies...Its a love-hate relationship, but they would be lost without each other.Tuesday, June 1, 2010
A HORRIFIC EVENT!!
When Sadie was in her sledding accident we found out that she had a urinary tract infection and she possibly could have been having them for a long time. So since then she has been on antibiotic almost consistently because a few days after she gets off she gets another infection......A week ago she had an ultrasound on her kidneys and they seemed to look fine. Then a few days later she got a really high fever...105 F....So of course I take her into the doctor and she has a UTI but it is ten times worse than it has been in the past. To make a long story shorter she has once again been on an antibiotic and had a VCUG today....
So this is how the VCUG went.....Sadie and I get to the hospital, get checked in, and go to radiology. At this point Sissy is already upset....I take her in where they are going to do the procedure and lay her on the table, I had explained what they were going to do, but of course she was still upset. I lay with her on the table and hold her while they take her panties off to put the catheter in....Sadie was mortified!! Then two people each grab a leg and another attempts the cath....Sis is screaming and so mad and just wanted her panties back...When they finally got the catheter in and taped into place I got her calmed down and she seamed to be doing alright until the idiots kicked me out of the room!!!...Now explain this to me, why can all of these people be in the room with the radiation jackets on holding down my baby while I'm locked in the hall?!! Why not just give me a freakin' jacket and let me hold my baby!!? I was and am still so FURIOUS!
At this point Sadie went ballistic!! It took 4 grown adults to hold down my 3 year old baby!! I am still bawling just thinking about it, but I was a wreck in the hall thinking how screwed-up things are.
So another question....I teach my kids to be modest and to never talk to strangers and to never let any one touch or look at their privates....And of course procedures have to be done, but what would it hurt to have mom there reassuring them that everything will be okay?...
I cannot even put into words how horrible this procedure was......So I'm in the hall, my baby is on the table screaming bloody murder and the techs are filling her bladder with fluids and dye and taking pictures. Then they tell her to pee on the table, which her bladder was overly full so it wasn't too hard for her except that they don't move her dress, they don't try absorbing the pee, and they let her get completely soaked. I don't understand why they don't try making it a little more discreet so that these poor little stinks don't think it is such a huge ordeal....Then I got to go back into the room and Sadie just kept saying over and over "mommy mommy mommy, I peed, I'm all wet, my bum hurts, hold me, hold me, hold me, I want my panties, I'm all wet, I peed, mommy". Of course I was trying to hold myself together and I wrapped her in my arms and she clung to me like a little monkey. I got her cleaned up, I talked to the tech, and we were out of there....
It is just so hard being a mom at times, my heart just breaks for my little Sissy. I hate that I can't fix her ouchies...I hate stupid people that are so caught up in getting the job done that they don't care about the patient. Needless to say, I have had a hard time keeping it together today and this has to be the most HORRIFIC birthday ever!! All I want from now on for any holiday is health, especially for my kids.
Is that too much to ask for?!
