Poor little Aimee

Aimee was sick all weekend with a fever, and just being fussy and not quite herself. I went to church yesterday, and she just lay there not moving much, but not asleep, and she was really hot. We came home and she stopped moving at all, and couldn't hold up her head or keep her eyes open. We took her temp and it was 104! So we called the Dr and ended up taking her to the ER. They checked her urine and did a chest x-ray (which she was NOT happy about) and eventually they found out she has a UTI and kidney infection. So she's on some antibiotics and in two weeks she'll have an ultrasound and a few x-rays on her kidneys. That will tell us if she has VUR (vesicoureteral reflux). That is when the urine goes back up into the kidneys. So anyway, we'll let you know then. She is feeling much better now though, the antibiotics seem to be helping.

manda I totally did a double take when I read this. Seriously just about an hour ago my friend (ironically named Aimee, lol) told me the exact same story! About going to church etc. just yesterday and finding out that her daughter had a UTI/kidney infection. Weird! Poor little Aimee, I hope she feels better soon.
