Sicky girl

Smiley Riley has been not-so-smiley these days.  She's had this on-going fever for over a week.  Plus not eating, and throwing up for the past few days.  This week the Dr said if the fever is still there by Thursday, then to bring her back in.  So Thursday was Dr. day.  Unfortunately, I wasn't home to take Riley, so Marky had to do it.  This is the one appointment I wish I was there for... They needed a urine sample.  They started the catheter, but then she started to pee, so they were able to catch some in a cup. YEsss...! Then they needed blood :(  5 viles. They couldnt find her vein..took 3 tries!  Marky said she was crying-screaming saying "peeeease!!!" (Please is her new word.) Oh so sad!  Turns out she has an infection; possibly a bladder infection.  She is now on antibiotics, and already doing much better.
Last night was the first night she didnt throw up in a couple of days, she slept much better, ate breakfast and hasnt been sleeping the majority of the day!!  She's even trying to get up and walk!  We miss her happy smiley self, and we are looking forward to getting her back!!!
Here's a picture of Riley this morning eating her breakfast.  I actually caught her semi-smiling.
