Needing wisdom

We are needing wisdom for Waverly these days. For a couple of weeks now, she's seemed a little "off" and we are having a hard time figuring out why. She's been constipated even though she goes every day. She's been having an increase in seizures too, and we just finished treating another UTI a few days ago, and are waiting to hear if she's got another one already. She had a fever one day this week but that's all. And she's arching. A lot. We aren't sure if it's due to pain (from constipation or UTI), reflux, neurological, or airway clearance. 

I've spent my entire week trying to contact each doctor to get to the bottom of this. We took her in last week to check for bowel obstruction or other issues, and to get some blood work to make sure her levels were ok, and most of that checked out ok. (They did note some scattered stool throughout her colon and some dodge goon in her colon. 

So, we would appreciate prayers for her as we try to figure it all out. We've talked about a hospital admission just to have a whole team working on the whole picture (which is really needed), but an admission would be risky with exposure to other illnesses that are there. So for now we are still trying to do our best to communicate with all doctors (NOT an easy task!) and do what we can to help her. Thanks for the prayers! 

These pics were from last week. Poor baby!
