Poor Scout


We went to the doc this morning (thought apt was this afternoon-thank goodness I put it in my phone's calendar so I wouldn't forget!) to collect urine for another culture. Hoping the Suprax is working and her urine is clean after the UTI. The cath itself was awful again. I felt so horrible for my poor little baby! Now this fun part... when they see babies this little with UTIs they like to run more tests to be sure they don't have Vesicoureteral Reflux... basically a condition which causes some of her urine to travel backwards and can cause kidney damage. If you're interested you can read more about it here:

Anyway, they have to do a renal sonogram and a VCUG (they inject dye and watch the 'flow'). Neither of which sound like much fun. They will be doing them on the 26th and since I will be back at work and can't afford to miss any days, Michael gets to take her. I don't know who I feel more sorry for... Miss Scout b/c she has to go through the procedure or Michael b/c he has to hold her. Anyway, keep us in your T&P... and now the pics... the doctor took forever to come in and Scout got bored so she played with mommy's sunglasses. I'm trying to keep my camera in the diaper bag to capture funny moments like these...
