after a few days of odin complaining that it hurt to go to the bathroom we suspected that he might have a bladder infection and took him to the doctor only to be told that it was highly unusual for a boy to have such a thing as were advised to come back if it got worse, which it quickly did. come to find out he did, in fact, have a raging bladder infection, which thankfully was quickly brought under control with a round of antibiotics.

he’s all better now, but it’s still a bit of a mystery as to how he could have contracted a bladder infection which seems to be quite a rarity in little boys. we’re hoping it doesn’t make a reappearance and that it was just a fluke, but it’s hard not to imagine that the infection might be indicative of something else going on. for the time being we’re going to take a "wait and see" approach and hope that the infection doesn’t come back anytime soon.
