My Little Guy..

My little guy will undergo another barium enema tomorrow morning.  Today we are focusing on getting him cleaned out.  That means a day full of clear liquids and Miralax every hour.  We heard back from the surgeon last week and according to the pathologist the tissue sample that was taken during the biopsy was inadequate.  The original surgeon apparently took a sample too close to the rectum and therefore the results would be inconclusive.  So, for now we will redo the barium enema with a cleaned out colon and go from there.  Our current surgeon seems to believe that according to Liam's current condition, he does not have Hirschsprungs.  I will remain hopeful that is the case! 
A lot of mixed emotions right now, but will save that for a later post.  Right now I need to focus on my little guy and getting through the next couple of days.

      Yup! Had to do this in the hospital last time before his biopsy. They want him to be completely cleaned out! Last time he took it every hour from 9 til midnight before he was cleaned out. Hoping it doesn't take that long this time with him being on it once a day for the last month. Not fun.
