My back is getting a little better and physical therapy is going really well. Some of the exercises I have to do at home really hurt my tail bone, but I just push through the pain! I have 8 more sessions of physical therapy, so hopefully it will help a lot more.
Last Thursday was Paige's appointment in Peoria with the Urologist. Basically, her vaginal opening has closed shut. I guess about 30% of little girls get this and it is usually treated with an estrogen cream. So it really is pretty common, even though we had never heard of this before. Basically what causes it is because she is wearing a diaper and she goes potty in it, there is bacteria also, and naturally her body is closing to keep out any infection. So Dr. Reid said the fastest and easiest way to eliminate the problem is to get her potty trained as soon as possible! So we went out and bought a potty chair and we are suppose to sit her on it after every meal and eventually she should grasp the concept that something is suppose to happen when she sits on the chair. When the Dr. told us what to do, Rod and I just looked at each other like "WHAT!" lol
Anyway, Paige has been on the cream since about 3 months old, but Dr. Reid prescribed another brand, so hopefully it will open it back up. She also prescribed her antibiotic that specifically targets the vaginal area and she recommended that we make her a mixture of pears, benefiber, and white grape juice and give her 1-2 tablespoons every evening to soften her poop. Because hard poop can lead to kidney problems and we don't want that! Paige goes back for an ultrasound on her kidneys in May, just to make sure there isn't any kidney stones or any other problems.
Rod switches shifts at the end of this month and will go back to working Wed-Fri 4 pm to 4am and every other Saturday.
Rusty turns 3 years old today, Happy Birthday Rusty Bucket!
That's about it for now, hope everyone has a Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
