[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 114394, member: 1233"] Apparently her poor body has kept accumulating stool on the side wall, and the bowel just keeps stretching. At this point it is pushing up under her ribcage and down into her pelvis. Because of the swelling/stretching of the bowel, she kept having what we thought were normal bowel movements. So, tonight, we are doing the deal. Go lightly is just not fun to watch your kid go through, but as she is a easy child she is just grumbling when I bring another cup in to her. You have to drink 1 gallon in 2 hours. It will flush a bunch out. It works for a total of 8-10 hours, including the drinking time. The doctor did say the pain relievers were a mistake, but not OUR mistake. She is also the one who called it a blockage, making me crazy when I looked it up on the web. Not sure what the technical term is, but it is not a blockage as most people would think of one. busy, We started seeing the doctor because unrelenting abdominal pain. It was really really bad, and we were shuffled from doctor to doctor, with me having to really PUSH for appointments. She had several ultrasounds, and bloodwork, and urinalysis, but nothing, NOTHING showed up. The doctor finally saw it on the Xray. Getting the stuff out should help the pain a lot. But we won't have any idea WHY until AFTER it is out. She sees the pediatrician next week, and the pediatrician gastro too. pediatrician gastro is out this week and his nurse is just a whackjob. He is really really good, but she is the only phone nurse for 4 pediatrician gastros. Thanks to ALL of you for your care, concern and prayers. AND for your info. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
