Rhett update!


OK, I've been putting it off a little because I was hoping to have some definite news before I blogged about it, but.... We took him to the specialist and he was not convinced that what he has is Hershprungs disease, so he wants to exhaust all other options first since the test is not exactly pleasant to confirm. At any rate, he put him on a VERY POWERFUL cleansing routine. We were needless to say very worried about leaving the house with him for the whole weekend. It took way longer that we think it should have ( he is only 4 years old and we were giving him four times as much as any adult would take ) but we finally had some success. I guess that we are going to just keep up this routine for a few weeks and then see if he can somehow start going normal again? I really don't understand this process, but we will try what the Dr. is asking. I just wish that it all wasn't so traumatic for Rhett. He is a trooper though. Thanks for all your prayers and concerns. We really appreciated it. I'll let you know when something more definite is finally decided on.

Hey guys, it was great catching up on your blog. That reunion looked so fun! I'm sorry to hear about Rhett, you are such an awesome mom! He's such a cutie-pie!

Keep us posted.

If you need any DR. referrals or have any questions let me know. My niece has Ulcerative Colitis (which thankfully Rhett doesn't have) and they have an wonderful DR. in SLC. I can't remember what his speciality is, but he deals with gastrointestinal issues.
