Everytime I have taken her to the DR I get the same stinkin hand out on what to do for constipation.
Well this past Monday was her 4th time in 3 days straining so hard that she threw up out of her nose and mouth. And while she is straining she is screaming at the top of her lungs so loud, because she is in so much pain. And afterall that drama, there is little to nothing in her diaper.
So I called the Peditrician and they said they could see me the next day, and that wasnt good enough for me. So, I told them that they could see her now, because I was on my way.
On the way to the Dr Molly has another episode, and I have to pull over on the side of the interstate and just hold her while she is throwing up and straining and crying.
Finally got her back in the car seat and to the Dr, and she had another episode while we were waiting to be seen.
I told them that I did not want another handout on what to do for constipation, I wanted to know WHY my baby could not use the bathroom.
So, the Dr came in and ordered her some X-rays.
We went over to another office for the x-rays and they wouldn't really tell us what they found, they wanted her Dr to tell us.
So the next Morning ( Tues, Jan 4th)I called her Dr, and they told me that according to her X-rays it appears that her Colon is not the size it is suppose to be, and that there is a narrowing of her colon and that is why she can't pass her BM's.
Inorder to find out exactly how small her colon is and what is going on, and how to treat her, they have to run more test.
So all day yesterday I called and called their office until they gave me the exact day, time, and place of her appointment for her test.
Because I was not going to let them treat my child who needs honest medical attention, as just another name on a list. I am a worried momma who needs answers.
So,all of that leads us to Today.
They scheduled her test for 9am this morning.
Here is my Sweet Molly in her hospital gown today. It's a little fuzzy, as cell phone pics aren't the greatest.
They had to strap her down on this table and she was such a big girl about it. She laid still and didn't fight or squirm.
But she was holding on to each of my hands with each of her hands. Everytime, I moved she would squeeze my fingers really tight, in fear that I was about to let go of her. :(
I had to keep telling her I wasnt going anywhere.
Once they had her strapped down, they inserted a camera in her thru her hiney and shot this dye in her so that they could get a clear picture of her colon.
While she was on the table they had to keep turning her all the way to the left, all the way to the right, and everytime they would turn her she would be so far over that she was almost upside down.
So when they would turn her, I would try to let go of one of her hands so I could support her head, but she wouldnt have it. She had a death grip on mommy's hands. She didn't want to let go for anything. I had to force one of my hands away from her just to be able to support her head when they had her turned.
Everytime she would start to cry out of discomfort, I would try to divert her attention and make her laugh. So I would say in a really silly voice "How Doosa, Mr Poosa?" and she would just giggle so loud!
How many babies can you get to laugh out loud while they have some stranger sticking foreign objects in their hiney??
My precious girl is such an angel and she did so well today, it definitley made me so very proud of her.
And of course her being calm and relaxed helped me be calm and relaxed.
They told me that they were going to fax the results to her peditrician and he would have them by lunch time.
Well lunch time came, and I called them and they said he hasnt read the results yet.
So, I am anxiously waiting, on pins and needles, to find out the results from her test.
I am so nervous about what it means that her colon isnt the size it is suppose to be. Every single time she tries to go the bathroom it is such a huge ordeal for her, so Please pray that whatever is going on can be an easy fix and nothing too serious.
My sweet baby has had such a rough journey so far, I am just ready for her to be healthy so that she can enjoy being a baby without needing so much help.
Thank you for praying for her, and as soon as I know the results I will try to update.
