Mr. Poopy Pants

We had a little scare with Cameron on Thursday night. We put him to bed around 10ish and he could not go to sleep. He was tossing and turning for hours, trying to sleep and repeatedly saying owie and belly hurt. He was getting so mad, he wanted to sleep but something was seriously bothering him. I finally decided to call the Dr. I told them he seemed to be having some abdominal pain and that it had been going on for hours. They suggested that we take him to the ER since he wouldn't be able to be seen for at least another 8 hours. So off we went to the Children's hospital at 1:30 in the morning. He was really good...thought it was pretty cool that we were going some where in the middle of the night. He also seemed to be more comfortable when he was sitting up.

So we get to the hospital and they felt his belly and checked some other things and everything looked fine. They wanted to do an x-ray of his belly. This is when Cameron lost it. He liked the cool fishy room, but didn't like laying on the cold table and having a big machine come towards his little body. What did the x-ray show...that he was constipated! Cameron has never been constipated (that I knew about anyway)! They gave us some Miralax and we were on our way. We were glad that there was nothing seriously wrong with him. We were all exhausted. We got home just in enough time for Mom to get ready for work and leave and Cameron and Daddy went to sleep. What a long night! Now we will keep Miralax on hand in case that ever happens again!
