get it out before she pops 2

Following on from aibu to take dd3 to a&e

I actually had a dream about this thread last night! Very good news. Will be watching for updates!

Oh excellent news!

Very good news! I'm so pleased things are moving quickly - even if the poo isn't!

You should be very proud of how you've handled this, instead of letting them fob you off you've pushed and fought for help for your dd. Well done.

Good luck Maemae. Good thoughts are with you.

Excellent news - will be thinking of you all!

I've followed the thread from the outset and wanted to delurk to wish you the very best of luck. You've been amazing through this - as have both your girls. You should be very proud - of them and yourself.

Good luck xx

Hope you are in there soon and getting LittleMae more comfortable.

Glad they are doing a scan and plan to run diagnostics too. It won't be much fun I'm sure. And even if you don't get a diagnosis it will hopefully answer and put all the questions to bed and give you confidence in a maintenance regime when you get there.

Oh hurrah, this is going to be great! MiniMae will have fun at the hospital I'm sure, she may not like the idea of it but the novelty will make it into an adventure [smily]

Woohoo, hope things progress smoothly!

Glad you are FINALLY being listened to . All the best for a smooth and comfortable hospital stay

Sorry you're having to go into hospital, but as you are very aware, it'll be for the best.
Hope you are all comfortable and that poor littleMae gets sorted soon.

Good luck! X

Thinking of you both and fingers crossed they find out what's going on xx

Thank you again for the lovely messages.
DD is fast asleep.
The X-ray showed a very big back up of poo. And no gas in an area where there usually should be (blockage?)
So the action with be the strongest enema they can give her and pico sulphate.
Also had lots of blood tests done and awaiting results.
We are going to have the other tests done by the gastro specialist in Leicester. But I don't know when.
Xx

So glad you finally got the X-ray and shows you were right and she did need it to show that there is probably a blockage. Hopefully she will get sorted now and you should at least get the blood results quicker while you are in hospital. Hope she has a settled night and you get some sleep

better late than never < sigh >

good luck with everything.

I am very glad you eventually got the Xray.
Now everyone has a clear picture (literally) of the location and extent of the back up.
IMO it would have been safer to have done the Xray earlier.

I hope things go more smoothly for you from now on. There still needs to be further investigation into things like muscle tone problems. I think someone did mention hypermobility/ED syndrome up thread.

Shame you can't wave the x-ray in the face of every HCP who said she didn't need one and shout 'What's this then - scotch mist?!', isn't it op...... I'd be tempted to do so but then I am a vengeful bitch

I'd also email it to that twat of a GP with only the words 'FYI' and your daughter's name in the subject line

Glad there is finally something happening. Stay strong littlemaemae, you are doing great!

I don't think anyone was denying there'd be a lot of poo on the xray, just that it wouldn't necessarily change management.

I've been following this thread and am so glad you are finally getting somewhere with your LO.

defimitely let everyone know they were wrong who needs to know. Public service for the next sufferer.

My DD has issues and they were all dismissed in two minutes by a consultant who had never met her before. I immediately emailed our GP to inform him the consultant was wrong and DD does have all the issues she always had. Fucking consultants who think they know everything about everything.

So glad your dd is going to be treated finally.

I agree who . I hope they do find a cause, and solution for you op.

It would be wonderful if it can be cleared with drugs / enemas.
