On Monday hubby took Maddison to the doctor for a follow up on her poop issues. It was a waste of time. They wouldn't do a stomach x-ray to see if she is cleared up or not. The doctor never did anything. They said to give her Miralax for 2 more months.
I am really unsure about what to do now. What if in 2 months she is not cleared up, then what? What if she is already cleared up? Does she really still need this medication? I think its hard to know this if we don't get an x-ray of her stomach.
Mason went to the doctor Wednesday afternoon. I had a feeling they were just going to tell me he had a cold but they said he has BRONCHIOLITIS. His breathing sounds funny and he has been coughing alot. For now we need to just keep a close eye on his breathing and if it seems like he is having a hard time or he develops a fever we need to take him back in. He still smiles so I know he is doing alright! We need to just let this run its course.

I feel your pain on the belly issued with Maddison. I am having my own tummy issues...just not sure what and have had thousands of $ (with insurance) of tests done, time off work for them, etc...and I get answers that include a line of treatment that I do not think is the answer at all. Its frustrating!
Just do whats best for her..I know you will!
If you feel that you want more done about Maddison tummy issues, I would get a second opinion. Mommies know their children the best. I would be looking into this more. I'm surprised they haven't done any kind of x-ray. I would think they would want to make sure there isn't something that is causing some kind of blockage. Have they suggested working with a dietitian at all? I can't remember all the details from you past posts, but maybe it has something to do with certain foods. I'm no doctor, but I don't like when things seems to be just brushed off and not looked more into. We have been working with a dietitian for Kai for a long time now. I wasn't really getting anywhere with his doctor, so I switched and I am so glad that I did. Hope things for her get figured out soon.
