My Scotty



Notice the soccer socks.

 So, this past Saturday morning Scotty was crying in his bed when we went in to get Mac. He was holding his tummy and he said he couldn't sit up or move. (what?) It was his last day of soccer and he really wanted to play so we got him in the shower and also gave him some breakfast.... still he was hurting. We laid him on the couch and went up stairs to get with the little boys. Scotty came up the stairs and collapsed into our floor, crying and holding his tummy. Big Scott and I decided it was time to take him in. He was pointing at one certain spot and it was just sooo unlike our tough guy.

At the ER they checked him for strep (?!), did a X-ray and determined he was constipated. We gave him 4 suppositories and one dose of Miralax and he only pooped a tiny bit. All day Sunday and Monday he seemed like his old self but... Tuesday he woke up crying again holding his tummy and pointing to that one spot. Ahhhhh!!
We took him to the pediatrician (he was so smart and compassionate) and they checked everything and then called a specialist to get their advice. Long story short, we are going to see a Pediatric GI surgeon today at 10:00am. Not necessarily for surgery today. I would assume they are checking for strictures (scar tissue) forming in his gut.
I would really appreciate your prayers for wisdom for the doctors. My prayer is that they find NOTHING and that his gut looks totally normal. When it comes to my Scotty I usually get really nervous but I feel very peaceful and for that I am thankful to God.

Thanks friends and blog stalkers!
