All or Nothing

Ethan has been on his Miralax for about a week now. At first it was going really well, but for the past 2-3 days, he's been bound up again. Today I had to go into school for a few hours to work on some travel lesson plans that were supposed to have been done in January. Ethan stayed with (Ba)Nana. I got home this afternoon only to find out that he had a bad bout of trying to poop, similar to last Wednesday night. Oh no! Really? My mom said she had talked to my grandma, who said it could be a bowel obstruction. "What could be obstructing his butt continually?" I asked. My mom told me it can be something as simple as a polyp. I began thinking and remembered that Ethan has had this little bubbly skin tag on his butt since birth. Could that be causing all the problems? I made a mental note of it while I read the newspaper.

A little while later, while eating his afternoon bottle, Ethan started turning red and crying. Please let something come out, I thought. Well, it did...pretty normally. We changed him and let him play with his toys on the floor. Not more than 15 minutes later, we heard some juicy sharts coming out. We laid Ethan down and checked-whoa! Talk about a lot of s**t! And stinky!!!

I've decided that if this feast or famine pooing continues for a couple of weeks, I'll bring him back in. However, he's taking his Miralax daily, so I hoping for regularity now that his body should be used to it...
