Chasten

A little over a week ago, Chasten went to the specialists at Primary Children to figure out what is wrong with him. He has been diagnosed with Chronic stool retention and encupresis due to constipation which has caused his colon to enlarge. Now he has a mega colon. The good news is his colon should shrink over awhile the bad news is we have to have him go through colon cleanings and cleaning maintenance. This is not fun for him and not fun for us but over time his colon will shrink and his body will tell him when he should go "dump". After three months of cleaning he will go back to the dr and they will be able to examine why he gets constipated or if he has IBS. I am not excited about his cleaning out sessions but I am so glad to start getting some answers. It nice not hearing his tummy hurts but now his other end hurts. The one thing i am amazed about is how if your dumper doesn't work your whole system is affected, especially the stomach. God loves to make me strong!!!!
