How To Freak Out Your Parents

I really gave Mama and Papa a scare yesterday when I peed out some blood. Mama spotted it first in the morning, she said it looked a bit weird and crimson coloured. When she told Papa, he didn't believe her. So I had to pee for him again at lunch time. This time my pee was definitely red and I even made some blood clots too! You should have seen Papa's face!!! He was freaked out!

Turns out, I was passing stones. I'm ok now. Not so much bloody pee anymore.

Oh I'm going camping this weekend with my favourite people! And I even got a life jacket just for this trip. I'm so excited to test it out! I'll let you know how that goes when I get back! Have a great long weekend (last one of summer)!

My Prince Charming?

Mama just got back from a conference in Boston.
I missed her very much! But I got to spend the
whole week with Papa, yay! Mama got me a present
from the conference: a green frog!

His name is Julabo.
I think he's my Prince Charming in disguise.

Oh no I pushed him off the top of the Brita!

I was disappointed that no matter how
long I kissed Julabo for, he wouldn't
turn into a prince.

Did You Miss Me?

This summer vacation was good for me,
I think I really needed the time off.
On my vacation Papa took me to Sunnybrook Park,
we had so much fun!

Did I tell you that on my vacation I had
to have a procedure called hydropulsion?
Because of my sandy bladder, the doctor
had to remove the stones by flushing them out
using saline and then pushing on my tummy
to force out the stones. Don't worry it didn't hurt,
because I slept through the whole thing.

I'm also on a supplement called Allopurinol now.
It's normally used in people to treat gout.
We're hoping that this new medicine will
help with the prevention of more urate stones forming.

Papa where are you going?

Hey come back!

I had a pretty good vacation, other than
the bladder flushing. Lots of rest and relaxation.

I hope you didn't miss me too much!
But I did miss you, I'm glad to be back now!
