Question always being asked... Hows Allie feeling? Well the answer varies from day to day.. literally. Its been two weeks of ups and downs. We spent all day sunday and I mean ALL day in the ER. From the time Allie woke up till we left for the ER she would scream the most awful scream every time she would pee. She would clench her fists and feet and not want to be touched. It was the craziest thing. Well after about 5 hours of it Rob and I decided to head to the ER. After waiting 3 and a half hours in the waiting room the tests begun. They had to catheter her twice (may I say the most awful thing is to have to hold your baby down as she looks at you, screams, and signs 'all done' as they stick things up in her), put in IV in twice and take blood out of the other arm twice.. if you are noticing a pattern here everything was done twice... need less to say Rob and I had had just about enough by 11pm. After all the tests the dr was sitting in our room looking at allie perplexed as she stated to us.. 'I really have no idea what else to look at but I feel like there is something that we are missing'. Well she wanted us to stay overnight to keep fluids in her, but I wanted to bring her home so she could sleep well in her own bed and I reassured the dr we would push fluids at home so she let us leave. Rob and I got in the car and Rob says "Are you as emotionally drained as I am?" Seriously you can only take so much pinning your child down and watching her scream. Ugh. Well all the tests came back negative on tuesday and she is slowly getting better. They still have no idea what was causing all the pain and her bladder to be extremely big (since kiddos in diapers don't have big bladders due to the fact they can pee whenever they want). Well then on tuesday Allie woke up with fluid draining out of her ear like a faucet.. as I stated to Rob "maybe this is normal with tubes?" Nope not normal... Another ear infection... only 4 days after getting off the antibiotics for the last ear infection and 14 days post ear tube surgery... perfect. So unfortunately the tubes did not solve the infection problem although it did solve the fluid being in her ear constantly (which can cause hearing problems) so thankfully its a little easier on Allie. So then we come to friday and allie is feeling a bit better. (Although I came down with a kidney infection wednesday and rob has had a cold/sore throat all week) We are ready for this house to be sickness free. To be honest I am just discouraged about Allie's ears and really hoping and praying that these ear infections aren't a weekly battle... but I just don't know what else to do? I'm not sure if the ENT will be looking at other issues if this happens frequently. We'll see.
I am finally putting up some photos from Easter and a couple random ones. Allie is getting so old. She is already wanting to decide what she wears... She will go to the closet and point at the shirt she wants... TOO early! :) And if I let her everyday she will wear the Tiger shirt she got in mexico that I have to squeeze over her belly!

oh guys, we are praying for you. that is terrible - i had to go to the ER a month ago and it was traumatic enough for me: a 29 year old. i am so sorry. but, we are lifting allie and all of you up and asking God to make you SICKNESS FREE!
Yikes, Linds, I am so sad. What a tough few weeks!! I wish you could take her to Dr. Miller - you know how good he is and it would be so great to have his opinion on both issues. We'll be praying for answers and wisdom. Love you guys...
