Oh my have we ever been busy. It started 2 weeks ago when Owen got sick and then with in a half hour of putting the other two to bed Audrey calls me in her room and she had vomited raman noodles all over her. It looked like someone threw them at her. Travis is giving her a bath and I am cleaning up her bed and Andrew starts throwing up so we put him in the tub and I am cleaning his bed. I hear Travis calling me into the bathroom because Andrew is throwing up ON Audrey. We get them all cleand back up and in bed I go and check on Owen and he threw up all over my bed. So another bath and bed changed. Andrew dry heaved all night so we left him alone but the other two I put a blanket over the couch and they slept there with me in the chair. Till abour 330am if one wasn't throwing up the other was. It was like my house was porlturgisted. They decided to share the flu with me on Wednesday thru Friday. The kids are feeling better but Andrew remains sick. This Monday I brought him to the dr.'s and i finley got his GI dr to listen to me. She had a thearoy and after one x-ray and 4 hours she was right. He was so constipaited that it was pushing up on his tummy and preventing food from going down and forcing it to come up and out. So we gave him a laxitive and nothing. The next day another laxitive, nothing. Today he pooped. About dang time. He is dehydraited and we are trying to keep fluids in him to avoid the hospital. We are to go and see the GI dr again tomorrow and see if we have kept him hydraited enough. If no you know where you can fine me.
On a side note, I called the Genetics Dr to see if any of the results have come in and she said yes that they all have. Drum roll please....................................The micro array came back neg YEAH and the Coffin Lowery also came back neg. Why that doest get a YEAH? She said that the gene for CLS doesn't like to "show it's self" and that it could be a false neg. So we will get re-evaluated with her and she still might give him that diagnosis ut the good thing is in a few years he may "out grow" these symptoms and have the diagnosis removed where as if the test was positive he has it for life. So we are not out of the woods with CLS but the chances have greatly reduced with both of those tests being negative.
Here are a couple of pictures of him on his horse from tonight ENJOY!
