Ellie and the ER

After a two day long 102 fever and finding it was up to 104, we strapped her in the car and headed to urgent care Sunday afternoon. After a rather long talk with the doctor there (who fell across the room because his foot got caught in the mouse cord....HILARIOUS) we were sent across the street to the ER to have a full workup done to see if Ellie had a bladder infection.
We were pumping her full of water trying to keep her hydrated and happy. We tried to keep it on the down-low that a catheter was going to be making it her way in the next few minutes. She ended up being a real trooper during that procedure (the nurses commented on how well she did!) and Mommy didn't even lose it too bad. Yay for us!
Ellie was really confused about what the deal was with everyone poking and prodding her repeatedly. Although, the Sesame Street stickers from the x-ray ladies (because she "could teach the adults a thing or two about getting x-rays taken") seemed to be a good enough distraction.
Tim got us some dinner from Micky-D's but it figured that as soon as we get the food, they come to tell us what's going on and then we get to go home. Turns out there's no bladder infection, but she was withholding some important poo (we could see it in the x-rays...didn't know you could see that on those). So her official diagnosis is a viral infection of some sort, and plugged poo. The poo has made it's appearance but the 104 fever is still here....grrr.....
