X-ray

So my little Maggie May has been having some concerns with potty. She goes A LOT! At first we put it off to anxiety from the medical stuff she went through in December. The last few days it has just gotten progressively worse, actually it has been horrible. She is peeing every 5 minutes and sometimes she is sitting on the potty for 30 minutes at a time. When she sit for a long time on the potty she usually starts crying. It has been breaking my heart and frustrating me at the same time.

After a crazy morning of her going potty every second, I called Dr. Borus (her pediatrician). I explained my situation to the nurse and asked for the doctor to call me. He called within the half hour. Our laid-back doctor was very concerned. He told me it was time to jump on this and leave no stone unturned. He is concerned due to the pidd and wants to make sure we have looked at every option before we decide it is the anxiety. His concern scared the hell out of me.

So tomorrow morning we go to get an x-ray of Maggie's tummy to check for blockages and than we go to Dr. Borus for an exam. After that, if he finds nothing on the blockage front and is still concerned we head off to an urologist. What a fun day!

I am a wreck. I am a worried, nervous Momma who just wants her baby to not have to do one more medical thing. I can deal with the germs and the colds if we don't need to put her through anymore medical procedures. I had Dr. Borus walk me through the x-ray on the phone so I could prepare her. I hate to see the fear in her eyes when she thinks about going to the doctor. My stomach turns and my heart breaks every time I think this kid may have to go through another "thing".

Maggie is strong and she is a trooper. But she is also 3 and scared to death of anything medical. I just want to hold her and make it all go away. If I could I would wave a magic wand over her and she would be perfectly fine and healthy I would dance with joy. The truth is I can't so I have to do the next right thing. I will be saying lots of prayers tonight and tomorrow. I will visualize placing her in God's loving and protective hands. And I will hug and kiss her more times than anyone can count.
