No Fun!!!!!

My poor little daughter. She ended up sick at the end of our vacation. When we got home she started to complain that it hurt whenever she peed. We took her to the doctor because I was sure it was a Urinary tract infection. Let me just say how fun it was to get my two year old to pee in a cup. We ended up taking the cup home and trying there. Got the sample back to the lab and got her on antibiotics because the doctor said it was obvious that she had an infection. So she has been on antibiotics that say she should spend minimal time out in the sun. It is hard to explain to her why we can't go outside for more than 30 to 45 min. We got the results back from the culture they did on her urine and she does have a urinary tract infection caused by e-coli. YUCK!!!!! After doing the math we figured she picked it up somewhere between Salt Lake and Ellensburg when we drove 14 hours straight. Plus with her immune system already weakened it just made things worse.
So we went to the doctor today for a second test to see if she is rid of this nasty infection. Again she had to pee in the cup. She was such a big girl. We went into the bathroom i got her all prepped and ready and before I could get the cup in position she started to pee. I said NOOOO!!!! and she actually stopped. She got the littlest amount into the cup after that. when we left the bathroom she ran to her dad yelling for the whole office to hear, "I peed in the cup, I peed in the cup!!" Such a big girl. Should find out by toomorrow if she is better.

eeks, poor little Mariska! What a trooper though. Jeez, I mean, if it were one of us experiencing all that discomfort, we'd be complaining a ton more than she has.
That's a cute story about her peeing in the cup. Well, for the most part. ;-)
