Prayers Needed. . .

I picked Hayley up from school today and she was burning up. I got her home and the fever was 105. She was just limp and wouldn't talk. She would only shake her head yes or no. THANKING God for Motrin!! It brought the fever down and she came alive again. Took her to the dr. and had her tested for flu (negative) and had the traumatic experience of cathedarizing her (I wasn't allowed in the room, but could hear her screaming down the hall----ripped my heart out) and the urine test was also negative. We will get results from the urine culture w/in the next 48 hours. I'm almost certain it is a UTI (urinary tract infection). She has kidney reflux and is on a low dose of antibiotics daily. It is hurting her to go potty SO badly. She just screams in pain. Thankfully tonight after she woke up in hysterics b/c she had to go to the bathroom and couldn't I thought about putting her in the bath (thank you, God, for that thought!) and she was able to go potty and feel better immediately.

So---please pray for the doctors' wisdom. Pray that her urologist can get her in quickly when I call in the morning. Pray for peace for Tra and me. It is SO HARD to watch your baby in SO much pain!!! And pray for COMPLETE HEALING. We believe God can heal her kidney reflux and we are boldly asking for that. I am so thankful that it is not something worse or life-threatening. But it is still gut-wrenching to see her hurt so badly. : (

It was so hard to see Hayley so uncomfortable!!! I'm so glad the bath worked and I'll be praying that God puts lots of those kind of thoughts in your mind as you take care of her. I'll also be praying that you and the doctor are able to figure something out quickly. Remember, when it's you vs. someone else, YOU know best with the Lord and mommy instincts on your side!

I will pray for your little Hayley and you and Tra as well. There's nothing more gut wrenching than having to watch your babies hurt . .makes me sad just remembering times I've had to do the same. So sorry you guys have to go through this - healing will come!
