follow up:

since starting her antibiotics for the UTI, natalie didn't seem to be healing quickly enough. I was worried that there was something else wrong, so i made a follow up appointment with her pediatrician, dr. arango, last week. as it turns out, the medicine was working fine and her infection was almost gone, but all of the symptoms she was experiencing were related to something completely different. natalie was severly constipated. the dr. told us we needed to do a fleet enema with her, which i will spare you the details and just mention that that might be one of the worst things you have to do to your own child. she did well, despite the circumstances and we're glad that is out of the way. the reason for this post is not to gross you out or anything, but to show you how big my natalie is getting. the dr. said no more baths for natalie (to prevent future infections) and on to the shower! here she is, taking her first shower by herself:
