Finally. We finally got some people to listen to us about The Boy's stool withholding/encopresis? issues after his last blockage. We're heading off to CA in the next few days to meet with some specialists who will ease our minds and help us figure out the best way to help The Boy go. He's been miserable. We've been miserable.
We've almost murdered a handful of people who told us that he'd be fine if we'd just give him some papaya... or olive oil. Oh, what a F-ing genius you are. Why didn't WE think of changing his diet. My personal favorite for murder-candidate was the doc who told us that The Boy probably has this problem because attention was taken away from him when his little sister was born. Oh, that's just brilliant, too. Somehow, The Boy sensed that we were going to have The Girl, so 13 months before she was born, he started withholding his stools. Now, while I agree his is the smartest kid in the world, I still think that is beyond his abilities.
So, we're on our way to CA for an undetermined amount of time. State said it could be 6-12 months but our nurse thinks it will be a shorter period of time. I'll write more when we get settled next week.
