http://www.redefiningmommyhood.com Journey of a mom whose son is overcoming hypotonia Thu, 23 Dec 2010 03:47:52 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.2 http://www.redefiningmommyhood.com/archives/31 http://www.redefiningmommyhood.com/archives/31#comments Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:56:43 +0000 admin http://www.redefiningmommyhood.com/?p=31 Ok, here is one of the not-so-fun parts of mommyhood. Constipation and blowouts! Luke is chronically constipated because of the hypotonia. His hypotonia is mainly in his trunk and legs so constipation is a side effect.
He has been to a gastroenterologist and is on Miralax daily to try and combat the problem, but dosing is always a guessing game. He still gets constipated, so we up the dosage, then two days later……boom!!! A huge blowout!
The doctor seemed to think that he may also be withholding since his early bouts of constipation (pre-Miralax) were so traumatic.
I’m so excited to start potty training. Can you sense my sarcasm?
