Just As Mom Thought

Do you ever ask yourself if you should just do what you think is right? I should have went with what my gut instinct was yesterday, because that is exactly what the Dr said today.

It seems like Hunter's bowels just slow down after 4 or 5 weeks. We seem to go good for a while and then after about 4 or 5 weeks we seem to hit a wall. The plan is to continue to do what we are doing now, but on the 3rd day if he has not stooled a lot we should start with 24 hours of rectal irrigation's. Thank goodness I am already a pro at this.

Hopefully this will do the trick and keep him from having another explosive day like he did yesterday. He is still not tolerating feeding well today, so we are going to do the wonderful pedialyte and ease him back in to feedings after his bowels calm down.

Poor little man. We continue to pray this gets him over the hump. Next thing will be to do a Valium enema and take a look and see if there is a narrowing or suture that are causing him issues. Hoping we don't have to travel that road, that comes with a whole new set of issues.

Thanks for checking in on Hunter. God Bless
