it went okay, as well as expected. it only took 3 of us to hold her down for the catheter. poor girl, she was terrified & crying for me to stop them, calling them bad bad bad. it nearly brought tears to my eyes, but she made it through great. AND they *did* give her some numbing ointment before the catheter was inserted (originally the ped didn't think they did that for the kids. why not?!).
she does NOT have kidney problems, though. her urinary tract infection was just that & doesn't have anything to do with kidney dysfunction or reflux. throughout the procedure we talked about things that calmed her down & the few things included ice cream sundaes (we went directly to a grocery store to let her pick out her own ice cream & whipped cream...she picked out 3 small tubs of ice cream. how could i say no after all that crying & stuff she went through?!). the other thoughts that got her through were of her birthday party & especially with chloe & zoe (her twin cousins) coming to jump in the jump house with her (we hope to rent one for her party). hearing about chloe & zoe coming to visit her & play made her smile & laugh even while in pain. (hhmm, i mentioned amelia would be there to play also & she was like 'nope, she's a baby mama' so i hope amelia isn't thrown out of the jump house by addy & the twins, lol).
i'm so glad it's over. now for a good day & week. i'm taking in some biofreeze loving to help with the increase of muscle use this morning (how old do i sound?! *smile*).

Ach! Poor Addy-girl....... glad everything was ok.
Oh, thats so sad! Heidi, I always feel like such a bad parent just when we take them for vaccines because they trust you and all they know is this hurts and don't fully understand why. Poor Addy, I'm glad she got to talk to C&Z today:) We're looking forward to her party!
