We finally heard back about Boston’s test and he doesn’t have anything “apparent” on his x-rays to indicate a problem. In other words, he doesn’t have Hirschsprung’s Disease! Hooray! I am glad to know that we don’t have to face surgery or any of the stress that goes along with that. Dr. Ciminello said that he still thinks it is not unusual for a breastfed baby to go 7 to 10 days between bowel movements but if he continues to go 12 to 15 days between, we will do some blood work. It is still so frustrating to wait around for a bowel movement to come! How am I supposed to know if he will go as long as 12 to 15 days between bowel movements if I am giving him a suppository every 7 days or so to relieve his discomfort? Sigh…and the one who really has to deal with the misery is Boston!

That is great news! But still semi-frustrating to deal with...I hope this all passes soon and he starts getting more regular!
