I guess we should consider ourselves lucky - two kids, only 3 visits to the ER, however all have been for Rowan and we have not made a visit in 5 years but yesterday morning there we were again.
Rowan woke up fine and then started complaining that her stomach hurt - alot - on the floor in the fetal position pain. Slightly alarming. We called the pede and when they called back they asked her to put her arms over her head and jump up and down. Okay, does that hurt - yes. Please take her to the ER. Ack!
We were able to drop Lily off at the neighbours - thank God - and then Parker, Rowan and I set out for the ER. They came in, poked her belly, prodded it - treated her like bread dough - not tender, not swollen, no appendicitis - PHEW.
Xray of her belly showed - massive stool back up in her intestines - yep, she is constipated. That's it....ugh. Miralax doses every day should clear up the problem.
You know that expression you are full of shit? It exists for a reason :-)
