I pray that she is feeling better soon and that God will provide your family with the peace and strength needed to weather the storm you are going through!

They are no fun. :( I agree with the other comments, perhaps cath after she potties, so she can feel accomplishment and yet you can still empty her. We have to cath my Peanut because even though she pees on her own (nowhere near potty training though!) she never empties completely either. Her bladder is also very distended and she gets frequent UTI's. Poor girls! I hope Annabel feels better soon.ANewKindOfPerfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978293330074662766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739971891215576234.post-39779912447874632852008-09-17T12:16:00.000-05:002008-09-17T12:16:00.000-05:00I hope this medicine clears things up fast.

And, of course, she might want to use her potty for poohing, even if she can't use it totally for peeing.<BR/><BR/>Hope she feels a lot better very soon, poor baby.Mrs Redboots (Annabel Smyth)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11270027663691257254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739971891215576234.post-6012852911768133802008-09-17T10:35:00.000-05:002008-09-17T10:35:00.000-05:00Hi Cathy!Poor little Annabel.

That way she could have the wonderful feelings of accomplishment and perhaps her bladder could be retrained and hopefully she eventually would learn to totally empty. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime, praying that the antibiotic does the trick and "our girl" will be feeling herself again very soon!<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear that you are making the best of a bad situation. Thanks so much for keeping us up to date. Praying also for quicker than expected power turn on and getting you back in your house so you can get things back to "normal" soon. <BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>KathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662891218967597030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-739971891215576234.post-84041029542782042362008-09-17T07:53:00.000-05:002008-09-17T07:53:00.000-05:00Cathy-I am so sorry that Annabel has another UTI a...Cathy-I am so sorry that Annabel has another UTI and all that is before you right now. Praising God for the strength He has given you.
