get it out before she pops 2

Following on from aibu to take dd3 to a&e

Poor thing
I'm glad they're keeping her in though.

Poor things, what is their plan? Glad you are finally being taken seriously but cross on your behalf that it took so long and led to her being so poorly.

Poor thing.

Have they suggested a manual evacuation or is it too high up?

Oh bless her it is so hard on all of you. for you and for your brave girl. Have they give you any indication of what they are going to do if this doesn't work?

Poor little thing. She's being so brave through all of this.

Well at least this time they're seeing it through and not fobbing you off. Best of luck.

It's just not moving at all. The haven't said what next. I'm not sure there is a plan yet as we all thought she would be sorted by now.
The blockage is high up. I think manual extraction would be the next step but it hasn't been discussed yet.
I can not believe how resistant this poo is!

Manual evacuation is for low down not high up and is very very rarely done, I can't imagine it being done to a child.

Don't panic yet though - how many days of picosulfate is it? It's not many.

Remember this is a problem that has built up (literally) over months if not years so it isn't going to be solved in a couple of days.

I would think an admission to sort this out would be at least a week to shift all of it and establish a regular bowel pattern afterwards, if not more.

I agree, don't panic. This is chronic and is going to take time to clear. Picosulphate takes time to work its magic. Keep positive Mae you're all on the road to recovery.

Well i suppose looking at it positively, she's in the right place now and they will have to sort it. Just a shame this didn't happen sooner.

(((((((((((soft soft Hugs)))))))) Op and DD

are they giving her pain killers?

my son was given liquid paraffin to disimpact over few days but it isnt used often here in UK

poor baby, it sounds horrible for her. Hugs for you too op

I've been lurking since the start of the first thread. I am so glad the medics have finally stepped up. Keeping my fingers crossed that Turdy McPoo gets evicted soon.

Been keeping up with this thread, no suggestions beyond what has been said by more experienced MNers.

Just adding my poo shifting vibes and thoughts.

Your poor baby girl

How are you doing in there? Have you got access to showers, somewhere to cook for yourself and make the necessary . Are you getting enough rest yourself? What about materials for reading etc? Any other parents you can chat to when DD is asleep? It's tough for your lo but it's equally as tough for the parents with the added bit of being worried and having to care for poorly DD as well.

Oh poor littlemae. Hopefully something shifts it soon.

Hi, thanks everyone.
Sounds like i had my hopes too high and it will take time.
I am really pleased with the care we are getting. She is in safe hands now.
I dread to think about if I hadn't persisted thanks to the support of MN .
So for all of you!
I have read about liquid paraffin being used successfully and vegetable oil. Just not in the uk, but I will ask if that is an option.
DD won't take pain meds as it is taking 3 of us to hold her down for the other oral medications, we have tried but she would rather put up with the pain.
When she is on antibiotics DP has to work from home to help me with it,she fights that much!)
We had a good nights sleep and she is sleeping now.
The ward is really quiet, only 2 of us. Hopefully I can chat to the other mum.
I'm going to try to get a shower now,
I'm not really feeling tired. I go into auto pilot and can just deal with it, but when I get home I will be shattered.

Food has been good, no complaints!

OP, you're amazing. The previous medics should be thoroughly ashamed (and dare I say complained about when you have time to do that sort of thing?).
I am so glad they are finally sorting this. As others have said, you are a different person to the beginning of this thread.

You're clearly doubly amazing. Sorry.

Ooh, Cat speaks the truth, doubly so

LittleMae might not be feeling terribly lucky right now poor little sausage, but she is lucky. Lucky to have such a brave and amazing mummy hope you getting sone food in hospital as well as the patient!

Well done. Hang in there.
