Kintropy In Action

Last week, I took Hannah to see a children's rehab specialist.  She has great ideas for dealing with children who have low muscle tone.   I told her the drama we've been through.  She listened attentively.  She let me know that she found this issue important.  She agreed it was gas pain, and she actually offered some ideas to fix it.

She started by saying that we were on the right track with our formula concoction of prune juice, Activa and Pedisure with fiber.  She agreed that Miralax was a bad idea.  She wanted me to move the senna to a different time.  That night she wanted me to give Hannah an enema.  She was shocked in all my past medical experience with Hannah I had not given one yet.   So I found out that there are pediatric enema's available over the counter.  So cool.  

The next 5 nights she wants me to give Hannah a  pediatric glycerin suppository.  (I didn't even know there were pediatric suppositories I've been cutting up adult ones.)  She says the idea  is to clean her completely out and then train her to have movements the same time everyday.  

So far things are going well.  The night I did the enema she did not wake once screaming.  Usually, she cries about every 2 hours.   We all got a great deal of rest.   The next night she has some discomfort about 5 times and last night the timing was completely off.  She had a huge blowout at 3 in the morning.  

I feel relieved that we are working towards resolving this issue.
