So this week was EVENTFUL with the kids. As usual, things seem to like to happen at the close of the day or the beginning of the weekend. Late Tuesday afternoon, Hailey freaked herself as well as me after she used the restroom. After a failed attempt at going to an urgent clinic to get her checked out, we wound up driving to the ER in Norman. Hailey was in the hospital for 5 days back in April for just about the same situation. (Side note: Hailey whelled up in tears when we told her we had to take her to the doctor. She asked about shots and went and got the colored bear they gave her last time she was there. She had a mini panic attack and I got teary too seeing her sad.) They tested her urine and were able successfully draw a vial of blood. She was a super big girl even though she had big, sad tears streaming down her face. She was terrified but wouldn't look away. She wanted to watch! Stickers made up for it though. Hunter even got some Thomas ones. The last hospital visit pretty much did her in on the shot/needle thing. We saw her pediatrician the next day and went back to the hospital so she could have an ultrasound and x-rays. It was a long two days and we still haven't heard any results. Our doctor said she hopes to know by Monday. She most likely will be referred to an urologist and we will go from there. Hopefully we will find out what is causing her to get in this situation. Other than these mystery illnesses, Hailey has been a pretty healthy little girl.
Wednesday evening, I noticed Hunter keeps coughing a lot. Thursday he develops a fever, is still coughing and is uncomfortable. He had some throwing up episodes of drainage junk in the middle of the night too. So early this morning after more late night throwing up, I took him in to see the on-call weekend doctor in Norman. He has an ear infection in his right ear. No wonder why he didn't want his head to be touched and kept saying ouch! This is Hunter's first time to be on an antibiotic. Hope it kicks in soon and clears it up so he can be back to normal.
It has been a long week. Love you little ones!!!
