And Here We Are Again.....

 

We find ourselves back at Children's Hospital in NOLA yet again on this beautiful Tuesday morning.  Matthew was once again admitted after a day of excruciating pain during urination and inability to void completely.  The rational side of me knows that everything that can be done is being done based on the tests.  However, the mommy side of me knows that my son is hurting and having problems for some reason.  And it's not constipation!!! 

 

The nurse attempted to insert a catheter at midnight with no success.  Even going to the smaller gauge it was unable to be fully inserted.  His doctor's have rounded this morning and will be consulting with urology again to discuss sedating him to get it in and fully drain his bladder.  His heart is heavy and so is mine.  Just praying for some relief for him very quickly.  Four weeks is a long time.

 

On the positive side I can't even begin to say how thankful I am to have the amazing nurses that work on the 6th floor here.  They set the bar for what caring looks like.  They are patient care!
