It has been a while since I have posted. So I snapped a couple pictures of my adorable boys and one of our cute Mollie. Life is okay just lots of poop in our lives still. We had a follow up with the GI specialist. Brody's results were looked over by the doctor and an exam of his belly all pleased her. The follow up treatment from the clean out is that Brody has to be on TWO LAXATIVES everyday for the next three months. I don't give him the laxatives till after he comes from school so it is a long afternoon and evening of pooping from a child reluctant to go on a toilet. The issue the doctor says happens with a lot of her patients with autism is that they are not going poop when they need to thus being one of the reasons he had some retention. Also all the laxatives will force him to poop also helping potty train him. Brody wants to control and keep himself from going and sometimes the problem is he is not relaxed enough to go. Even now, a couple days into having him on the laxatives Brody refuses to go after I take him all the time. It should get better each day with him not withholding his bowel movements. So here is hoping tomorrow adds more poop to the toilet and less in pull-ups, floor, hands, bathtub and sink!! (With that last sentence I am pretty sure I just kissed goodbye any future visitors to our house :)
The good news is that there are two new babies in our lives. Two beautiful baby boys were born within days of each other. My sister Jada had Lorenzo on Sept 15th and my dearest friend Amber had Arlo on Sept 17th. Both women are amazing and we are all excited for the addition of two precious baby boys in this world.
P.S. Ryan is deathly afraid of newborn babies!
