Well, after seeing his dr. they think that it is in fact a UTI. He said that the antibiotics that I had given him could have affected the results of his lab test. He said that it also just may be a continuation from his stomach flu from last week. Apparently sometimes if a child is either constipated or has diarrhea it can irritate the bladder and make it seem as though they have a UTI. If it doesn't get better the other possibility is diabetes. That's definitely scary because there is a lot of family history on my side with both Type I and Type II. Dr. said not to worry at this point though because he thought it was unlikely.
So far so good and Carter seems to be responding to the antibiotics and his accidents are getting fewer and farther between.
Now however, I am ill. I have an extremely nasty cold. But after being in bed most of yesterday and most of today, I'm starting to feel a little better. I really want to get my house clean tonight so I can get laundry done tomorrow. For some reason I have this complusion where I can't do laundry in a messy house. Needless to say, that's probably why my laundry piles up so often. Here's my to-do list for tonight and tomorrow...

for my son Carter. This last week he has started to have accidents. He was tested today for a UTI, but that test came back negative and now the dr. wants to see him. I'm so worried. I keep telling myself it's nothing to be really worried about, but I can't help but worry. He otherwise seems to be feeling ok. UGH!! I hate when he is sick and it just seems like he has been sick non-stop with something for the longest time. Please say a prayer for him if you would and for myself too. I'm not sure my nerves can handle waiting until tomorrow morning when we meet with the dr.
I'm so glad I don't use this brand. We go through so much peanut butter here it's unbelievable.

OK so over the past couple of weeks I have been seeing some doctors to attempt at getting me feeling better. I was diagnosed 4 years ago with moderately severe PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, more info here.) It's really something I tend to advise staying away from! (HA! If it were only that easy!!!) As a result, I'm currently have significant problems with my weight and getting my body ready to get pregnant. I currently have about 80 lbs. that I would like to remove from my body. It will, however, be harder than going uphill 20 miles each way to school in 20 ft. of snow! Barefoot!!! (As my grandpa used to say.) Needless to say I am taking advantage of a team of medical personnel to help me accomplish my goals. While I don't need to lose all of that weight to get pregnant, it would certainly help things work a little better. So for now, I'm going to work my butt off (literally I hope!) and pray that God will bless us again with another child.
To help in this endeavor, I was put on medication that will help reduce the amount of fat that my body can absorb at any given meal. It essentially has the same effects of have gastric bypass without the invasive aspect of surgery. My weight loss also won't be quite as dramatic as a surgical patient. Unfortunately many of the same side-effects are there though. Luckily, the side-effects that I will experience will be completely up to me. If I follow my diet to a tee, then there will be very little adverse effect from the medication. If I falter, I will pay.
Right now I'm allowed 15 grams of fat per meal and no more than 50 grams per day. So I can have 3 meals and then have 5 grams for any snacks I may need or want. I am also allowed 1400 calories per day. Most important to watch is the fat intake because of the medication effects.
This week, I'm going to get both my diet plan and my fitness plan. I was told what I could have in terms of fat and calories, but the nutritionist is just going to go over everything in depth and give me some resources.
I officially began yesterday, so I'm going to weigh in weekly and see how I do. I also plan to post on here not only my progress in weight on a weekly basis, but also, on what I've had to eat for the day. I need one central place to keep all my information and what better place than here.
I also saw a psychologist too, but I'll go over that meeting later.
