ARGH!

So...on Thursday afternoon I received a phone call from Shelby's GI's fabulous nurse. She said it could be seen on Sunday's (Immediate Care) and Wednesday's (ER) x-rays that Shelby did have a large amount of stool in her. A CT was NOT necessary! All that exposure to that extra radiation was NOT necessary! Makes me so mad! Anyway, the nurse recommended a 2-day clean-out using Miralax. So, here we are after the clean-out with reduced tummy pain, but wondering how "clean" she actually got. Her Levsin is still a larger dose than usual and x-lax chocolate (she loved it) has been added to her nighttime meds. We'll see what that brings in the a.m. We'll follow-up with her GI this week to talk about a new game plan to keep her even more "regular." Poor kid. This on top of everything else.
