Some Observations

Yesterday Fabi woke up from her nap screaming. I could tell she was in some serious pain. The good news is all the crying produced a good BM, the bad news is sometimes it seems this is the only time she'll actually have a BM (when she's crying, which causes straining).

I sent out a plea for help to a local group of awesome moms and got some great suggestions for getting those bowels moving. One suggestion I particularly like is Lactoluse - it's a laxative, but also has a probiotic quality to it. Sometimes Fabi's breath is stinky so I'm thinking it all ties together. No poop, stinky intestines and therefore breath.
I'll ask her Dr on Thursday for an RX for the Lactoluse.

Also, I've noticed that when I lay Fabi on her back sometimes she cries in pain. I"m not sure if it's the incision or her back. She's kinda twisted, which reminds me, I need to ask the Dr. what he got CAT scans of. I would like to know if he got a picture of her back and hips, specifically.

Also, they did ultrasounds on her kidneys and bladder - wonder what those pictures looked like.

So here is my working list of things to ask Dr. Ruge:

Weight
Head circumference
What the ultrasound showed of her kidney/bladder function/size
Any pictures of her back
What his prognosis is for her to walk
RX for Lactulose
RX for Flu Shot

Please feel free to add anything.
