I was thinking that this was pretty early for me!!! I may actually go to bed soon, then again, I may not....Hi Teresa! I see your up late again!"

Denise, it just breaks my heart reading about Riley. The total frustration of the situation has got to be almost overwhelming for the two of you.I think that Riley may have another infection. I had a little unpleasant interaction with a nurse I can't stand. She once said when I called in "the doctor doesn't know what else to do and he doesn't know who would so I don't know what you want from me." Yeah, she's not my favorite.
Today she told me that they had decided that Riley would be cath'ed every time she leaves a sample from now on. I had never been told this and I am not really o.k. with them making medical decisions for my child without even asking me. I said NO and gave my reasons and the nurse (I call her hag in my mind!) asked me "what do you want me to do." Before I even knew it, I was being really snotty and said, "well for starters you could show a little compasion and then you can tell the doctor that I would like to discuss this before a decision is made." I know I shouldn't have been so ugly to her, but I've had it!
Basically the doctor is trying to convince me that she hasn't been getting infections that the "clean catch" samples just aren't sterile. Whatever!!!! The cultures have grown out all but a couple of times so this doesn't even make sense. We compromised and agreed that she will leave a clean catch sample (potty in a cup) but we won't start any antibiotic treatment until the culture comes back in 2 days. I told Riley that when she is in a lot of pain we need to do a cath so that she doesn't have to suffer. She pinky promised that she would tell me when it was bad. So now we wait. She says it's not so bad right now. I just hope it stays that way.
I actually overheard the hag nurse say, "I'm not even going in that room" to another nurse that needed some help with the computer. I started laughing and really wanted to call out into the hall, "you want a piece of me" but I wasn't sure she'd see the humor in it!Riley and I did though!
Sounds like fun, is it a big reunion?Poor Riley! That is totally unprofessional of that nurse, let alone inappropiate in general. I am sorry.
Teresa, heading to a family reunion. My dad's grandparents lived there and some of his brothers and sisters were born there so heading to the little town of Buchanon. There is also a family cemetery and he is buried there. We have been in 3 years and no one goes back there unless there is a reunion, no one even lives there anymore. It is quite interesting.
You held your tongue better than I would have. I would have said things that were not near as polite. I thought that nurses were taught to be compassionate to their patients. You keep being vigilant and you and Riley will get the help that you need. Surely Riley isn't the only person in the whole of the world that has had this problem. Someone somewhere knows how to deal with this problem. Just keep pressing till you get a solution.I think that Riley may have another infection. I had a little unpleasant interaction with a nurse I can't stand.

I have been working on a bunch of projects tonight. Jenna all of a sudden got it in her head that she wanted all of the Fancy Nancy clothes and accessories. So she talked her grandpa into giving her $10 to buy a hat. When we got to Target she decided that she wanted it all. I told her that that was out of the question, because the cost would just be too much. So I agreed to make her a FN tutu skirt, a FN purse and to buy her a pair of sunglasses like the FN ones. So I worked on these items tonight and also made two t-shirt dresses for her friends and a nightgown for the littlest friend, Meranda. I still have a Flamingo outfit to make her for her to wear tomorrow when she goes for her first Eye Therapy appointment. I'm excited for her to start, because I want to see how this improves her. Well back to the sewing table.
This office is so not listening to you guys anymore. I think you need to try and find a "fresh" doctor that has an office that will listen with concern for your child. This office seems not to care 100% about you guys anymore... I know you said something about the Mayo I think. Sometimes fresh eyes help!I think that Riley may have another infection.

Tnkrbelle565-if you do the Feb Dis meet you could fly down with DD & I out of Logan. Your scrapbook pages for the Big Give look incredible!!!
I'd suggest using Cheez Whiz. We had a poodle years ago who was epileptic and wouldn't take medication at all. We would hide it in a teaspoon of Cheez Whiz and he'd take it no problem! Even the vet started using it when we took the dog in to be boarded. So much easier than shoving it down the throat. Good luck!
We always wrap a pill in peanut butter. Put it in the roof of their mouth as far back as possible. They are so busy trying to lick the peanut butter that they swallow the pill. It works every time for me. Also our old vet would always stew chicken for a dog that needed to eat. You might try it.
I am getting really grumpy!First, I spent the morning at the hospital with Riley and now my computer won't read the pictures off of my memory card!!!!

I am getting really grumpy!First, I spent the morning at the hospital with Riley
So I need some inspiration! I'm working on curtains for DD9 for her HM room and I can't seem to get my butt into gear. I've had the fabric for about 6 mo and now I'm finally working on it. The top is going to be a puff valance and then a shear behind it..I know super easy, but I just can't seem to get it done.
Plus the other projects I have keep backing up. I'm actually banned from Joanne's until I finish them. How does everyone finish their projects? How do you stay inspiried to finish?

It is still touch and go but they think he will start eating when he is home. He has never been in a kennel type situation in his whole 10 yrs. when we go away I always got a pet sitter or just brought him with us. So that could very well be why he isn't eating. His electrolytes are still bad but his stomach was bad so the vet thinks if we can get him eating they will improve.
Please keep saying your prayers for my baby!
