no luck....

Madison has been on her new meds for almost a week now. We are not having any luck with getting things straightened out. Some days we are still having several accidents and then other days she is not going at all. We had the xray yesterday and it showed that she is still empty!! Dr. Levitt has decided to take her off of the ex-lax completely. We will stay on the 2 TBL of pectin. if she goes 2 days without stooling we have to give an enema. We just started this routine yesterday so it will be interesting to see how it goes. School starts on Friday so we are bummed that we are still at a place where there is no consistency or ability to predict what her patterns will be.

Jed and I remember a conversation with Dr. Levitt back in May when he informed us that there is a very small percentage of kids that you just can not find the correct dosage of meds for. 1 square is to high but a half is to low..... please pray that this is not the case for Madison. Pray that we are able to find the meds that will work for her. We are going back to a very strict eating schedule like we did in May just to see if that will help at all. So we will be doing no snacks at all and a very regular meal schedule. Dr. Levitt has not instructed us to do that but we are trying to do everything in our power to get her in undies as soon as possible....without having to introduce enemas.

Thank you for your continued prayers!
Nikki
