They were very impressed by her progress since her appt two weeks ago. She had a bit of a slow start, but we accomplished everything they wanted for the first two weeks. Her bowels emptied so well she didn't even need the follow up xrays. The PA was very sweet telling Julia what a great job she was doing and how great she looked. She said we were doing all the right things at home. I eagerly waited to hear what the next steps were going to be as we move back toward potty training. The next step in bowel retraining is..... six more weeks of what we're doing now- miralax twice a day. Guess the diapers are here to stay for awhile. Apparently this is going to be a much longer process than we had thought.
It is encouraging that we are able to induce proper functioning in her bowels, even if that is with medication right now. We're thankful everything can work, now we just have to train it to work as it should again. The whole appointment only took 15 minutes start to finish and we were heading out. At this point we won't come back to the hospital until her April GI appointment and then for her next scan day.

Doesn't it feel good to stretch the appointments farther and fartehr apart? I am glad she is doing so well. Blessings to you and yours. :)
