13th Hospitalization - Sept 28- Oct 1

We took Brett to the emergency room per his doctor's orders when he was having severe stomach cramps and pain. He had a full work-up complete with x-ray and ultrasound to try to see if there was some physical blockage in his intestines or some scar tissue formation blocking the flow of instestinal matter.

 You can certainly tell how bad he feels


First time in a big boy bed instead of a crib!

Over the course of several days, he was not allowed to eat as the doctors wanted to "rest his gut." He got IV fluids to sustain him. Nothing happened, so eventually he was given an enema, it worked, and we went home. As of December 13 (when I'm writing this) this has happened twice more at home and we just give an enema when he begins complaining about his stomach hurting. Obviously no one is sure what is going on or why this keeps happening!

He was soooooo hungry once we got the OK for him to eat!

Brett got to do a wagon ride but was very distressed that his riding partner Gantt was not in HIS seat!
