Paytons 8hr Dr visit!

Yesterday we took Payton in for is 4 month well check up. As we were going through the routine visit I was telling the Dr he pushes so hard to go #2 that he ends up spitting up, and not much comes out the other end. She felt his stomach and intestine area and decided he needed an xray. After she reviewed the xray she sent us to Childrens Hospital in Minneapolis. There they did a scope enima and sure enough he was pluged up. Because of his history when he was born (miconeum plug syndrome) they are thinking it is Hirschprung's Disease. We talked for a while with a surgen and decided that tomorrow, Wed, we will take him in and they will remove a piece of his large intestine and biopsey it to determine if it is Hirschprung's. If it is, he will have another surgery on Friday or Monday, I will write later to explain the surgery if he needs it. Dr Anderson, the surgen, says this happens in about 1 in every 5000 babies, so it's not very common. He has seen this and performed the surgery before so we are confident in him. If you want to know more about Hirschprung's Dr Anderson gave us a website. http://www.eapsa.org/, he said this is a reliable source. Payton also has a little cold so he is pretty miserable, but he tries to smile and be happy!
