Nate is still having problems with stooling. So the surgeon has decided to redo his botox again and see if that helps. He will be going in on December 21st for the injections. I am hopeful that it works and helps to make him more comfortable. For those that don’t know. Nate will have 4 injections in the muscle around his sphincter. The injections are suppose to help to relax the muscles and allow him to have bowel movements on his own so that he won’t become backed up. The last few weeks he has been backing up a lot. This evening he was very bloated and backed up and became sick to his stomach. It is so hard to watch him and to know that he must be uncomfortable but he is such a little trooper that he doesn’t complain at all. I think he is afraid to complain of the pain because he is afraid of the remedy. In order to relieve the pressure we have to clean him out. This is done using laxatives and suppositories and is not at all a comfortable process for him.
So I am hoping and praying that the botox will allow him to feel better and be a semi normal 3 year old again.
