I really was crazy to drive to Utah!!!!

I know it has been a while since I have posted. We are in Utah right now having a lot of fun with my family. However, it hasn't all been fun. So my mom and I had this great plan to drive to Utah, starting in Virginia, with my brother (who is 12) my two kids and a dog:) Well after the first hour of driving my mom and I were calling my dad begging him to buy us plane tickets to get home (yes we were going to drive). Well this was just from crying kids which I really can handle, but then Rylee all of the sudden would not go to the bathroom. She would scream every time we would try and get her to go and it had been like 12 hours since she had gone, so off to the ER in Broomfield, CO. They test her for a UTI (of course she wouldn't pee in the cup so they had to catheterize her to get a drop. They strapped down her arms and then had three nurses also holding her down. I couldn't stay in the room for this, but when the male nurse came to get me he said that Rlyee was the strongest 3 year old he had ever seen in his 20 years of being a nurse:) any way, so the test came back negative, so then they decided to do an ultra sound. You have to realize that it is 11 pm and we had just driven 11 hours, so she was in pain and completely exhausted. Well they decide that her bladder is too full. So the have to catheterize her again. Luckly this time to don't make it in with the catheter before she just pees all over them:) Well so we thought that this was the end of that. So the next day in the morning she wakes up and she has to pee, but she won't. So I just put a diaper on her and held her on my lap and wouldn't let her cross her legs until she peed, it worked and she said she felt better so I thought everything was good. The next day we were leaving for our drive to utah and we knew we couldn't leave unless she went, and she wouldn't and it had been 24 hours this time, so off to the ER again. I can't say how happy I was when this test came back positive for a UTI. Well to make a long story short, I guess shorter:), she would only go in a diaper then for about a week and then I finally told her after she pooped in her diaper and then brought me the diaper and wet wipes and layed down right in front of me that she was done with diapers. we put panties on her and she has been good since. So the thing that was the most difficult for me through out this whole thing was her strong will. Nothing I said or did would make her go pee. My emotions were more of a roller coaster then when I was pregnant b/c I was helpless when it came to helping my little girl. So anyways:) That is the story of my crazy trip to Utah. when I get home I will post all of the fun times:)
