Doctor Visit Update

Thank you everyone for your prayers and encouragement for us. Keep those prayers coming because here's the update.

We headed to the doctor at 1:30pm this afternoon. I woke Landen up out of a dead sleep with screaming because he was still tired but it was the only way to do it without him trying to go pee before we left and we needed another urine sample. We got there and Landen peed right away, thank goodness. We also had to get blood drawn and this was the first time he has ever been pricked. He did good, he just started blowing air out like he was doing Lamaze or something. It was kind of funny. He did really good and I was so proud of him. We went back up and they actually got us in right away, which was very surprising. We talked to the doctor and basically I told her the same things I said before and she checked him all over and started saying different things we could do. I told her I wanted to wait to see if the UA came back positive and go from there. The tests weren't back so we had to wait and wait. Finally she came back and said the UA was completely fine and she had to wait for the blood test and the kidney function that she ran. Again we waited, and let me tell you - having two kids in a little room with NO children activities is very hard. We waited and the CNA comes in a long time later and says "you're still here?" I was not very happy about that, but I said "yes, we're still waiting for results". The doctor game back and says "well I've been on the phone with all kinds of people"; my heart about jumped out of my chest. I was thinking the worst, why else would she be on the phone? Well they have no idea what's going on, everything came back okay, so another doctor comes in and tells us we're going to do an xray and a bladder scan and we had a long talk; which isn't worth going into. We head to xray and got that done, then head over to the hospital to get the bladder scan done. It was okay, but I felt like one of the nurses was incompetent and I could have done a way better job, the other was great. Reminds me why "I just stay home with my kids"... yeah.. not a laughing matter when you say that to the crabby run down momma. Ha ha!Turns out all the rest of the tests came back okay and we still have no idea what's going on. So now, we are going to wait through the holiday and the weekend to see what happens. They said that whatever is going is not life threatening so that's good, and of course if he's in horrible pain we will take him to the emergency room, but we wait. If things don't clear up we go into more invasive tests, which I don't want to do, but will. We finally got home after 5:00pm tonight. It was a long visit.

I feel really frustrated and nervous about the entire situation. I really wanted it to show bacteria in his urine and now we really don't know anything, except it gets to sit on my nerves and make me feel icky. I don't want anything to be wrong with him. It scares me and it's going to be a long, long holiday weekend. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers, we all appreciate them. I will keep you updated. Have a great Thanksgiving!
