Pee & Poop Update

Yes let's discuss bodily fluids some more, since we haven't done that enough lately... ;) Caroline is seeming improved today, fortunately. Only one poop so far and it was diaper-contained. And she did not wake up covered in poop this morning either, like she has almost every day this week. So - keeping fingers crossed. She is home with me again today anyway (she has made it to day care for all of 1 and a half days this week). I could not in good conscience send her today knowing she had diarrhea like 8 times yesterday even though she seemed much improved this morning.

Rebecca had a urology follow-up this morning, where I explained how the Detrol seemed to have made her symptoms much worse and that once I took her off it she was much improved though still a bit leaky. So the new theory is that she has pelvic floor dysfunction, not bladder spasms. The nurse practitioner who has been following her seems quite confident that this is what it is, though her symptoms are a bit muddled and a little contradictory - if she has pelvic floor dysfunction she should have trouble fully emptying her bladder, which when we do the pee-and-then-ultrasound at the doctor's office, is not the case- her bladder has always been empty afterwards. However her pee-test thingy, which measures flow rate and, umm, force of pee or whatever, shows a result consistent with pelvic floor dysfunction. So the long story short is that now she will be starting on Flowmax, with another follow-up in six weeks....
