Well, it appears Hunter has Colitis. Apparently kids that have Hirsch Sprungs can often get this after being on antibiotics, which can cause the bowels to slow down.
Right now he is getting pedialyte and is tolerating that. So, the plan is to go home tomorrow morning. They will keep him on an antibiotic to help with the inflation in his bowels, we will continue irrigating him, do another day on pedialyte, and then start feeds slowly.
So, things look good, just a little bump in the road and we will be home for our lucky 7 birthday!
Now, we have to try to get the little guy to sleep. You can tell he knows that he is not at home, and he is not happy about it. If we could only know what was going through his mind. I seriously think he wants to know what all the fuss is about : )
The nurses have been good, and the new GI doctor seems good. So, continue to keep Hunter in your Prayers.
Here are a few pics
