UTI/Bladder Infection?

I think Arianna might have a UTI or bladder infection. I started suspecting this last week when she said "pee pee boo boo" but it was only once so I didn't give it much thought. Well this afternoon I left her at my moms and when I called to check on her my mom said she was crying and saying her pee pee hurt. The rest of the day was the same but got worse in the evening. She cries so hard when she pees and has hardly passed any urine. I tried to get an appointment scheduled tomorrow with the PCP but they never called back. I'll call first thing in the morning.

I just gave Arianna her breathing treatment because she is still satting on the low side. Ugh...what is going on with her?!?! She isn't coughing and her runny nose is practically gone. It will be nice to have her pediatrician listen to those lungs and see if anything sounds different. I did get an appointment with the pulmonologist but that won't be till July. We'll see what the doc says tomorrow.

So I just had to come back on and update because I'm up and worried. I've had a long day and maybe that isn't helping my situation. Arianna was satting at 80 when I checked her right before going to bed. She wasn't breathing funny so I decided to change the leads on the pulse oximeter just to be safe and I got the same reading. I put the oxygen cannula on her and she woke up screaming in pain about her pee pee and knees. All I could do was cry. I have never felt so helpless before. My daughter hurts and doesn't understand why I'm putting this nasty plastic tube up her nose. My mind is racing and I can't sleep. I have to give her another breathing treatment at 2:30am and then take Robert to work at 3:30am. Agh!
