It all started in the fall when I thought Hailey was super sick with the flu. She had a fever of 102-103 for a whole week. She was throwing up and had the chills. She was so sick she couldn't get off of her pillow. We went to the doctor and they also thought she had the flu and sent us home. After a couple of more days like this we went back to the doctor and said we were not leaving until we figured out what was wrong with her. They had us do a urine sample and sure enough she had a UTI. After getting on the Antibiotics she started to perk up and was back to herself again. A couple of months passed by and sure enough she got her second UTI. This time we new right away and got her on the antibiotics. They sent us up to PCMC for testing and found out she had a grade 4 refulx in her Ureter. They recommended staying on antibiotics for 6 months to see if her grade 4 reflux would reduce down to a 3. We were ok with that plan but about a week later she got her third UTI while on the antibiotic. I feel so bad when she gets sick with these UTI's. She get's so run down and has no energy. We called back up to her doctor at PCMC and they recommended getting her in for surgery to get her reflux fixed. We were very thankful to know that it was going to be out patient.
Hailey was a little anxious to get this done and so Eric gave her a blessing the night before. I think it helped me more than Hailey and I was grateful for the peace I felt after the blessing. The next morning Eric took her up to PCMC.
They had a fun waiting area for her to play in until they were ready for her.
She was a little nervous so they gave her a little versed to sedate her before they took her back.She was so happy they let her take her favorite blanket back with her.
The surgery took about an hour and the doctor said she did great. She has a pretty big scar, but she thinks it's pretty cool! When she woke up she was in a little bit of pain. They gave her more pain meds. and I got to hold her while she was sleeping.
After about an hour in recovery she started to wake up enough to go home. She loved her wagon ride out to the car.
On the way home all she wanted was a slurpee from 7-11! Of course her Dad stopped on the way home to get it for her. She had so many people call her and bring her balloons. Her Cousin Luke brought her a balloon and Her friends Tessa and Kylie. She was a little loopy from the Lortab but was doing great that night.
Her cute preschool class made her a cute get well card and Ms. Mindy gave her a sack full of fun activities to do while she was getting better. She is feeling much better and it is so nice to see her back to her fun self again.
We were so grateful to have such a wonderful hospital that caters to kids. Her doctor and nurses were the best. We were also grateful to my wonderful visiting teachers who brought Hailey her favorite Chicken noodle soup!
