What are the odds?!
So, we took Saige in for her kindergarten exam, and he did some routine things that included a urinalysis. The Dr. called me back a couple days later and it turns out she has a bladder infection. It's a bad one too. I feel bad! She has had a couple of issues, but I thought it was related to something else.
Then, the company that runs our lab work at the clinic I work at give free blood panels every once in a while so I took Circe in with me yesterday to get it done. The panel includes a urinalysis, so we're in the ultrasound room and the way they get urine is they find their bladder and then take a long needle with a syringe and pull urine out with it. We're all talking and when she pulled on the syringe, we both gasped...it was the color of rootbeer. I got scared, but she reassured me that it was ok. I got the results this morning. She has a bladder infection too! There were also a couple of other things they found so I'm going to bring her in for a real ultrasound on Monday. I'm hoping it's nothing to be concerned about and I'm trying not to worry about her, but she's getting old. I'm really glad I brought her in though.
I'm starting to wonder if there is something in our water...maybe I should run a u/a on myself!

Wow...what ARE the odds. Hope they both feel better soon and all goes well with the ultrasound.
