An update on The Boy...
We came back to the States to see docs about The Boy's poop (or lack thereof) condition. Since last Monday, we've had 4 appointments, a urinalysis, an hour-long ultrasound, and endless stress. Yesterday and today, The Boy had 4 doses of laxative (each day) including Miralax and Exlax. By late this afternoon he still hadn't made any progress toward a poop, so we called the doc and he suggested a suppository so that The Boy doesn't have to be admitted to the hospital on Monday for a clean-out. 20 minutes after the suppository, The Boy released a cannonball turd the size of a nectarine and about a cup (you asked... okay, maybe you didn't, but other people did. Stop reading if this is too much information) of poo-fluid. I could tell that the "nectarine" had been in there a long time. Great! So next week he gets an x-ray and some blood word and on the 26th, we meet with the GI to see what the next step is. And believe it or not... that's the cleaned up summary!
