Now here is where I get to brag: Addison was such a good girl during her exams, ultrasounds and tests. She did so good. Never cried never had a terrified moment. I am just so proud. NOW that is not to say she enjoyed it - she really could have done without the X-Ray. We had to take three and right as the last one was finished she looked up at me and said, "All done. No more please." Thankfully, I was able to tell her that we were done. Whew! But really, I could not have dreamt of her dealing with it any better than she did. Whatta girl!
So far they've narrowed it down to bladder spasms - which are apparently incredibly painful. It is something she should be able to grow out of; but if it happens again they want to see her again to do an internal exam. The thought of this scares me so bad. They'd actually have to put her under anesthesia and admit her into the Children's Hospital. I'm praying for that and many other reasons that this little nightmare is OVER!
Ahh, doesn't she look adorable in her little hospital gown? She was thrilled to have a mirror to entertain herself with while we waited . . .
On the upside, spending most of December in Anchorage has allowed us to spend lots of time with Nana & Grandpapadopolis.
Everytime we went to Anchorage we got stuck there. The roads home ended up closing due to bad weather - including a record-breaking 6.5 foot snowfall in less than three days! What a great place to get stuck - good company, good food and just a relaxing time (which was appreciated beyond belief - especially considering the reason we were there)!

oh my word, oh my word. Do we know ALL about these sort of problems. I SOOO hope you don't need any internal exam and especially a VCUG...actually, I will be praying for you. If you do need to go that route, please feel free to contact me so I can tell you what went wrong with Lacy and hopefully avoid for Addison. Bless her little heart...so awful when they are in that much pain. Good news, Lacy has not had a problem in almost 9 months! It just seemed to fall around potty training(tried at 18mons-problems, then at 2.4months and AWFUL) anyway...I will be praying!!!
Thank you SO VERY MUCH Kelly! When this all started Shannon & I talked about how similar this was with Lacy's experience!!
If we end up with an external exam - I'll be sure to get a hold of you ASAP! Since the last appointment we haven't had another instance and Addison is successfully (and pain-free) potty trained (daytime)! :)
I'm so glad it's been 9 months! Keep it up Lacy! Nothing worse than when your little one is in pain.
Thank you again Kelly! Happy New Year!
