This isn’t stitching related, but it could help another mama out there.
leus + partial bowel obstruction + Mesenteric lymphadenitis + chronic constipation and chronic bloating
For some background, Quinn has never not had a bloated tummy in her life, including infancy, and with each flare up her pain and symptoms get worse. So many of you have reached out with your stories, possible things to look into, and prayers. I am so thankful for each message. Doctors don’t know it all, so sometimes advocating for ourselves and children is the only thing that will save us.
Let’s start from the beginning. Just know it’s going to get long even though I’m trying to keep it short, but I hope it’ll help any one searching for answers. I searched facebook for other kids with Quinn’s symptoms and reading some of those posts helped me even if to just reassure me I needed to keep pushing when at every turn I was brushed off and made to feel like I was overreacting.
Quinn hasn’t lived a day of her life without bloating and major constipation. Like if I showed you her x-rays over the years you’d be shocked how much and how high up in her little body her poo goes. So we have kind of become used to the typical things that come with that. A lot of frequent discomfort and always discussing her t***s and p**ps 😅 Those two topics are standard small talk around our house. And my camera roll is full of p**p pictures 😅
