seen someone pee so much blood. It was pretty scary.
I got a call this morning from the school just after the kids got there. Laura had peed her pants, said it hurt, and said there was blood in it. By the time I picked her up, she had wet again, and was walking bow legged. We had booked a doctor's appointment for an hour or so. I took her home and tried to clean her up, and she was in so much pain. Every time she peed, she cried. And there was a lot more blood.
Thankfully when we got to the doctor, she managed enough to test, and it turns out to be a really fast acting, serious infection. She's on some wicked antibiotics, and apparently the speed with which the infection took hold and caused so much distress is normal for some women and girls.
But man, was it a scary thought looking at that blood and trying to figure out what would cause so much bleeding.
