Just shoot me. Please.

[Daria Morgandorffer]

We thought we would finally get to take DD home today but the final requirement is that she needs to pee first. She just had her epidural and catheter removed earlier. She still hasn't peed and it's been 6 hours. She had hip surgery so she's really swollen in the genital region and it's painful for her to even mess with the diaper. She's now in pain and she just spit out half her pain meds out of anger. The nurse may have to cath her again while she's swollen and in pain if she hasn't peed within 45 minutes. She's already inconsolable. I'm just about to completely lose it here. :-(

Please pray for pee!

Pee, little girl pee!

And hugs, mama!

[NitaX]

Oh poor baby. *hugs*

[runforrest]

Poor thing

Praying for pee! Maybe show her pictures of waterfalls or something?

[mominatrix]

Oh! Pee vibes to her!

[JLN]

Poor little girl.

After labor I couldn't pee. The nurse put this minty liquid in the toilet and I was instantly about to pee. Is that available at your hospital? I don't know if it would work on a child, but it may be worth asking.

Poor baby! Massive urination vibes are heading her way.

lol, ditto. I know you can't wait to get home. Pee, baby girl, pee!

[emilyj]

Poor baby!

When I used to get stage fright doing random drug tests, someone told me to blow on my hands. For some reason, that seems to work? Maybe if you can cup her hands and blow on them a little bit that might help her get started? I know it sounds totally ridiculous...

[passthewine]

Good luck! I hopes she pees soon and you can take her home.

I could be wrong but it's probably the blowing that helps you pee, not having your hands blown on. It's harder to keep the urethra (or the muscles there... whatever, I'm tired) tight when you're blowing out.

I'm not sure how old your baby is (ie, if she's old enough to rationalize this), but I was so stressed out after having my cath removed that the only way I could pee was if everyone left the room and I didn't think about it. Thinking about the fact that they were going to have to re-cath me if I couldn't go made everything worse. For me, the bigger a deal people made of it, the more difficult it became for me to go.

She's almost two

Still no pee :-(

[EloiseWeenie]

Oh no! Still praying for pee!

[Michelle]

[GailGoldie]

[Daria Morgandorffer]

Still no pee

She's been straight cathed twice now....

[eclaires]

Is there anything she loves to drink that you could load her up with? I hope you get some pee soon!

[pescalita]

poor little girl. Hope things get better soon.

[Daria Morgandorffer]

They are about to re-IV her to load her up with fluids.

This is a nightmare.

[SusanBAnthony]

I think it is really fairly common, even though it is of course a huge pain in the butt and traumatic for you both.

When Ds was having trouble peeing once, a warm bath, and peeing in the water helped, but I am guessing you can't do that because of the casts.

[heightsyankee]

I hope she pees after the reload. Poor thing! Just know they need her to for a reason and I know you guys are so ready to get home but this will make sure all is right with her recovery. Pee, baby, pee!

[ringstrue]

Put some water on that girls hands!! Wet some paper towels!!

[ringstrue]

Warm water. Put it on her feet too.

[Deleted]

Oh please lee little girl. Hugs to mom.

[summer]

((hugs)). That must be so hard to watch. I'm sorry.

[explorer2001]

Pee, baby, pee! You can do it!
Hugs.

[KB]

I'm sorry Daria...this sounds awful. I hope they can get her to pee soon!

Glad to see you posting. I'd been following your posts and Daria's and came in, hoping for good updates.

I hope you're both home soon!


I am the 39%.

I don't have the concentration to actually read a read article about something political, lol. Our nurse today kicked out my in laws since they are the opposite of relaxing and sleep inducing, so I am getting some good interwebs time in
