Another Maggie Story

Maggie has been a bit of a crab today. She's been complaining off and on that her foot hurts. On the way to a cookout tonight she started sobbing that her foot hurt.

A little background here... She complains about her legs hurting often. Not a ton, but every so often they seem to bug her. But, it never seems to slow her down much. Once in a great while she'll wake up in the night crying about it. I know, I'll have it checked out sometime soon.

Back to today.

So, she's crying and fussing all the way to Tom's house. She's fine when we get there and she plays with all the other kids. She got tired and went in the house to watch a movie. On the way home she fell asleep. We came home, I gave her some motrin and put her to bed. That's when the tears really started! She just wasn't right to me.

I decided to take her to the urgent care place. It was 8:50. They take patients until 8:59. We pulled in about 8:57.

Turns out she had a 101 fever (high for our family). Nothing wrong with her ears or throat. And, nothing wrong with her foot. By the end of the visit the doctor was pretty much yanking on it and it didn't phase her one bit.

They asked Mag's to pee in a cup. Her eyes lit up and she was so excited to do it. It was cute. She did great.

Well, she has a urinary track infection. Crazy huh? Who knew that an achy foot would turn into that?

I am totally praising God right now because we went to the clinic and filled her prescription and we were home by 9:40. Thank you Lord! By the end of the evening Maggie was laughing and back to her normal self. So, hopefully we caught the infection early and she'll be feeling better and better.
