maybe Edinburgh maybe not

It was not a great day for my amazing Maisie.

Maisie continued to be unsettled and not keen on her food. Daddy spoke to the dietitian and then to the health visitor to see if they had an idea what could be wrong with Maisie.

Cheeky! 

The health visitor took a wee sample to test to see if Maisie could have a urinary tract infection. Initial results showed that it is likely that Maisie has an infection.

The doctors requested a larger urine sample which wasn't easy to get so Daddy convinced Mummy to wrap poor Maisie in a freezer bag to collect the wee-wee;

This will help the doctors decide what the best course of treatment is.

Not only was Maisie under the weather due to the possible infection but also due to her hernia which was out for the majority of the afternoon and early evening. This wasn't helped with Maisie being upset as the hernia wouldn't pop back in.

Mummy and Daddy did a really good job ensuring that Maisie got fed little and often so that she could keep her fluid levels up.

Then (would you believe?) the doctor from the Sick Kids called. He asked if we would be available at short notice to go to Edinburgh for an operation on Maisie's hernia tomorrow afternoon. He was putting Maisie on the emergency list and is going to call in the morning to confirm.

All this time waiting for an appointment and Maisie ends up with a potential infection. If the doctors confirm this in the morning and want to treat Maisie she will not be able to go to Edinburgh.

Maisie will not have the strength to fight the infection and have an operation.

What will tomorrow bring?
