This was one that I forgot to post. Sorry....
Yesterday I took Arlee to the doctors after she had a tempature of 102.5! YIKES. Turns out that she has redness in her ear and it looks like she was getting an ear infection. They are also doing a urine test to see if she has a bladder infection. On Sunday, (the day before and Mother's Day) she would hold herself when she was going to the bathroom. I thought this was a little weird that she was doing this already at 13 months old. I didn't notice that she was warm that day, but after telling my mom that she had a temperature. She told me that she seemed to be a little warm, but she thought it was just because she was cold. I talked to Hans when he got home from school and he thought that I should take her in to get checked for a UTI.
So I took her in and they found the redness in the ear and are doing a culture on her urine to see if she does have the UTI. I will not be able to find out until tomorrow if she has it of not. However, the medicine that they gave her for her ear will cure both. The reason that we are waiting for results on the UTI is to see if they are going to have to do x-rays to see if everything is working how it should. If it isn't then they will have to do some other things to fix it so she doesn't keep getting UTIs.
Like I mentioned before we don't know about the UTI until tomorrow. I will be posting updates when I find out.

chelsey. I am sorry about arlee! I have bladder problems as well. I was born with them. So if you have any question. Please call me. Make sure she drinks alot of water. And cranberry juice helps. Also bathing her just makes it worse. And dont leave her in her diaper too long. I get them still every two weeks. And if she does have problems with her bladder its not fun at all. She made need bladder surgery later on. This will be my third one. So all i can say is be patient with her and good luck. I will pray for little arlee. Because having a bad bladder is no fun!
