Tucker's Tummy Update II

First of all, thank you for all the prayers, emails and questions about our sweet boy!
We went last week to Scottish Rite for two scans for Tucker's tummy. I talked about it in this post.






Well, we got the results and they all came back normal. Praise the Lord! :) We were glad that the scans came back normal. But we were also concerned because it doesn't solve the problem. Tucker is still dealing with extreme constipation.

We did try something new this week and we are hoping it helps. We have been giving him a cap full of Mirlax every night with his evening bottle. But we switched it to the morning because our friend L suggested it might work better. So we are seeing how that works before starting the new medicine that the specialist gave him.

Tucker's GI specialist did call us back on Monday and reported again that all the scans came back normal and that she wanted us to try a different medicine to see if it would help. We will try it if the change in time of the Mirlax doesn't work.

We just want our little boy to feel better and not have problems going to the bathroom. Our specialist did say that we have to get this fixed before he potty trains because it could really interfere with that.
Again, thank you for all the prayers and love. TJH has been so brave and strong through all of this and we are thankful that he's hopefully getting better! :)
