The urgent care facility our practice runs took a look at him, catheterized him in hopes of pulling something out of his bladder (totally unsuccessful) and then told us to take him to an ER. Children's Hospital ER doctor was NOT impressed that he'd already been cath'd. Apparently, that's something only reserved for high fever with suspicion of UTI cases in children Yeled's age. The doc took one good look at him and told us, before even doing an exam, that he looked really good and had probably just been a little unhappy in the tummy. She had us do a log of diapers and nursing times for 24 hours, which I finished at 1 am this morning. He nursed ten times for an average of ten minutes each time (he's always been an efficient nurser) and produced a more than acceptable number of wet diapers. All that confirms that he just wasn't feeling well during the day Thursday and nursed just enough to keep himself hydrated. Yeled is taking a nap with Abba as we speak.
I'm cooking beans. Navy beans simmering with salt and garlic for our soup tonight. Chickpeas simmering plain for hummus. I've got a bunch of little red bell peppers. I'm thinking about roasting those in the oven and throwing those into one batch of hummus for the adults in the house. The plain stuff will be for Yeled to play with. He already loves avocado and is completely not interested in oatmeal or rice cereal. I'm hoping that by introducing as many non-standard tastes as possible, he will be an easy to please young eater.
We got a thunderstorm with hail last night. Fortunately, the pots of veggies I'm trying to grow are hung far enough under the overhang that they escaped without much damage. Now to water them and take care of my kitchen.
