ER Visit

Thank you for the all the nice e-mails and comments. It really does help.

Adrienne got the catheter late yesterday afternoon and was very, very uncomfortable, more than seemed normal. Getting it in wasn't too bad but then she had pain with it and leakage. Finally, at 10 pm, after I couldn't reach anyone at the doctor's office, we decided to head to the ER. The ER closest to us was packed so we decided to head down the road to the same hospital we visited when Adrienne was bleeding last month. The waiting room was empty...my kind of waiting room. After much going back and forth, the catheter was removed. It turns out it was too small. Another one was inserted and then that one was leaking too. After three hours, the natural spasms you get from having it inserted went away and it was working correctly. We finally got back at 2 am to find Curt and Gus sleeping together. It was adorable.

Adrienne is feeling better this morning and things seem to be working fine. They did a urinalysis in the ER and her urine is full of bacteria as well as blood. So much for the last 10 days of antibiotics. She sees the doctor tomorrow morning. They're going to do a test where they put blue dye in the bladder to see if it comes out of the uterus, which would mean there's definitely a fistula there but we may continue with this conservative management. Hopefully this catheter will continue to function normally.
