Maddox has not been his happy-go-lucky self since about the weekend.
Then about 2 days ago he started crying on the potty and didn't want to go. He became clingy....Putting him down for a nap meant we either had to rock him to sleep or dance him to sleep with country music.
He started waking up during the night and crying, talking about a "bobo" and saying "back hurt."
Today I knew enough was enough. He wasn't getting better and I started to think something could be seriously wrong.
Last week, Maddox met Dr. Rigby.
Today he met Dr. Shelton.
He also met a catheter and an Xray machine.
I wanted to cry as I held him down for the nurse to cath him. I wanted to cry when they took him away for his Xray and he called "Mommy!" over and over.
It was a long, rough day. I had great plans to clean and grocery shop but I ended up at the doctor and CVS for most of the afternoon.
Thankfully, Maddox did not have a blockage and his urine looked good (but they are still doing a urinalysis to check for bacteria). The doctor said his Xray showed a lot of stool and gas in his tummy. So...Mr. Maddox is getting a little laxative mixed in with his drink.
Maddox never went a whole day without pooping, so I never thought he'd be THAT constipated...to the point of screaming and crying. I still wonder. For the time being, though, I'm going to trust the doctor's orders and hope my happy-go-lucky little boy comes back.
SOON.
