To start off, for those that don't know Ian has been having major problems with constipation. He has been like this since birth. In the beginning it was normal b/c I was nursing but since I have stopped it has gotten way worse. The crazy ped. I was going to couldn't/ wouldn't help me. I would bring it up with every appointment. He will "grow out of it "was always his response. I did get him to do stimulation on him for one appointment. But that didn't work either. So I switched to just my normal family doc. and told him my concerns at Ian's one year app. So this doc. was concerned -finally- and put him on a laxative everyday. He said come back in a month and he should be all cleaned out and be better. Well it has been two weeks and he has been the same. No progress. Ian was sick with a cold so I took him in mon. and he was getting two ear infections, I then mentioned it to the doc. ( a different one, mine wasn't in that day) and he said give him apple cider. Yeah like that is the cure all I have tried everything so that wasn't going to work, he also said the meds can take awhile.

So now, the last two nights Ian has been screaming for like a good hour at a time. He doesn't want to be held nothing I could do to calm him down just let him dry himself to sleep. It has been breaking my heart. So I called the doc and got him in again today. The doc took an x-ray and he was full of it! Literally! You could see it all in the x-ray. No wonder he is in pain. The doc said his body is spasming and that is what is causing the pain. So he said to give him a suppository everyday ( which I have given many times) and then in two weeks he will x-ray him and see if it helped.

I knew something was wrong but it is hard being a mother b/c you don't want to make everything look like a big thing but when you know something is wrong it usually is. I just hope that this works and that he will feel better. This week has been horrible, poor thing has had a cold, ear infections, constipation issues and I think he is cutting his fourth molar.   Kaitlyn has always been healthy so this is so difficult when you have sick child. I give credit to those with very sick children. It is very stessful and draining b/c you can't do anything to help them.

Well if you made it this far, thanks for reading. I will keep you updated on this stinky situation.:)
