Accident Prone Reece



Reece decided to get out of the bath tub last night by himself, he has done this a few times so we let him be independent (of course, we are watching). He slipped on a toy and hit his head on the bath tub ledge thing, then proceeded to cut himself on the way down on a toy dragon from McDonalds. His lip would not stop bleeding so we ended up in Urgent Care at about 8:45 or so at night. He did not need stitches, however, he had a pretty nice gash in his lip.

On top of that, on Monday he was diagnosed with Strep throat... again. He has been on a antibiotic since Monday, but since he now won't stop going to the bathroom (#2) we were wondering if something else was wrong. Even though we were not complaining that he was going, we were worried it was too much after having diarreah for over 2 weeks. Come to find out he has a virus/ bacteria that he is fighting and they are putting him on a new compound oral something to fix it but he has to get off the Omniceff for his strep. Whew! So, they are hoping the strep goes away while they work on this other problem.

After he is done pooping this virus out, he has to get Merilaxed again so he can have his colonoscopy! Does anyone wonder why I do not want any more kids?????????

This is crazy! My baby is just so messed up medically and I can't do a thing about it except put him in a sterile bubble for the rest of his life. Needless to say, he is still freaking out over hospitals and drs, but that is only the icing on our cake since we end up at one of the two once a week. God help my son.

My son, the anti-pooper

Well, Reece is still having issues going to the bathroom. Today is day 8 of no poop! This is getting out of hand. Calls to the Pediatrician and G.I. are nothing great, same old same old. So tonight we have to load him up on Merilax... this will be fun. Not. May have to do some more tests with Ree to see what is going on. Will let you all know what we find out... but for now we are kind of stuck again. Maybe a scope/ probe is next who knows though.
