We took Connor back to the doctor today for another x-ray and follow up exam. Thankfully, they think the enemas did the trick and the 'old' stool is apparently gone. The area of concern now is that part of his colon seems enlarged. He's not producing anywhere near 'normal' stools yet, but we think it might just be still from the enemas, plus his stomach is still gurgling and rumbling like crazy so things are still working themselves through.
Next steps:
-watch it for a week or so, goal is to see the stools get to a more semi-solid consistency, and obviously once-twice a day, not 15
-if that doesn't happen, we'll schedule a follow up with the nurse practitioner
-we're getting referred to a GI specialist at Children's to have them review the x-rays, colon, etc. and more than likely have an appointment there as well
So, we're not out of it yet, but at least his colon appeared to be cleaned out. I feel all we do around here is go to the doctor, Bryan had two eye doctor appointments this week, I had one for the pregnancy and Connor had two. I have another pregnancy check on Monday already and hopefully we'll get Connor into the GI before it gets too close to the due date. Thankfully Bryan is at least out of the eye doctor for another three weeks.
