So I took Jack into the pediatrician yesterday because Jack was just not doing better! He had to get his blood drawn and they did an x-ray of his poor little distended tummy! The doc looked at it and said that he was full of air and to put him back on regular food and pedialyte! Well today the doctor called back and said that the radiologist looked at the x-ray and saw a blockage and everything that we thought was air, is actually impacted stool! We need to put him on suppositories for 24 hours and if that doesn't loosen it, we have to do an enema at lunch tomorrow. If that doesn't work we have to take him into Primary's. We do have appointments with an allergist and a special pediatric GI doctor, but since those aren't until October, we will just have to wait!
The other thing I found out today was I am having a baby on Tuesday! My doctor said that I am close enough he can take her any time next week! Since Johnny starts a four day off stint on Tuesday, we decided that would be the best day! Dr. Larkin will strip my membranes at 8:45 and then we will have a baby by the afternoon! At least now we have a definitie end in sight!!!!

I'm so glad that at least you know part of the problem, even if not what caused it. Poor Jack! I've got my fingers crossed that the suppositories will work. Austin was on a laxitive for awhile and that might work till you can get in to see the GI.
Hooray for Tuesday!
Poor little guy!
Soooo exciting-- just a few more days!! We can't wait to hear the news!
