Saturday afternoon found us looking for a place to take a screaming Isabel. She was downstairs in the church playing when she came back up to the prophets chamber crying from pain. We decided a week of waiting was enough and we needed to get her seen by a doctor. Of course it couldn't happen on a weekday.
Pastor Kaighen directed us to the children's hospital in Kansas City while another man directed us to a walk in clinic at Wal Greens Pharmacy. Since the pharmacy was halfway to the hospital we decided to stop there first. The wait was an hour and a half so we headed to the hospital. Because she was presenting with severe abdominal pain they worked her up towards the top of the lost and we were back in a room in 20 minutes.
After an exam and x-rays we discovered that Isabel was extremely constipated. She's on Miralax which should help relieve that problem. We're supposed to increase the dose until we see the desired results. We are going on day 3 of treatment though and we're not sure we see a difference in frequency of her bathroom visits. Right now she's not complaining about the abdominal pain so I hope that means things are improving.
We start traveling out west this Wednesday morning so it would be good to have her regular before then so we don't end up with emergencies.

Whenever I fly I get extremely constipated. Didn't even think of that when you were posting earlier about her symptoms. Praying for your travels out West.
Is she doing better now? I've been praying for her. Poor girl!
