Wasnt Glenn suppose to go to the docs ?

What did they say ? Is he still having diarrhea?

Deb

Hi Deb!!!

Yes...up at 5 a.m. (yawning) this morning, packing a little bag for Glenn...

I was determined he was going to get there come heck or high water, so I

bought Depends the other day, which he wouldn't even look at, but I put one out

for him this morning and he put it on. I took a couple extra along with some

BabyWipes and a small roll of toilet paper!!! He had cramps as we are

walking out the door, and I'm thinking omigosh, how are we going to travel 25

miles in weekday work traffic!!! But he made it... until we got there at

least.

He was scheduled at 7:15 a.m. for another Sigmoidoscopy, but you know how

that goes...hurry up to be there on time and then wait.

They only found some small inflamations (colitis)...thank God!! The Dr.

told me to put him immediately on Pepto Bismol tablets...2 every 4 hrs. and

continue with the Lomotil after each movement. He also said to eat the

B.R.A.T.

diet. I told the Dr. I had suggested this to Glenn 3 wks. ago and he

wouldn't do it...and asked him if he would tell Glenn about the Pepto and the

BRAT...which he did.

Leaving the place of the procedure, Glenn wanted to stop at Dunkin

Donuts...well, I was driving and the car just wouldn't stop...LOL Then when we

got

home, he heads for the fridge to eat some Kentucky Fried Chicken....and I said,

" Why don't you for 2 days just try doing what the dr. tells you for once!!!

Just 2 days!!! Try It!! " I'm reprimanding like only a Mother can...LOL I

fixed him some rice with a little butter and some applesauce. He ate some

rice and 1 bite of applesauce. In the meantime, I went and got some Pepto

Bismol and put 2 of them in his hand. I also got some bananas, AGAIN, and he

ate

one. So far, it's been almost 4 hrs and he has NOT gone potty yet!!! He's

sleeping now. It's like getting a toddler to finally sleep when they are so

tired.... When is this man gonna listen/learn???!!! Damn stubborn man!!!

Dr. also told him to eat protein once he's o.k. to get some strength built

back up. Sounds promising...we shall see!!!

I personally think the Dr. is grasping straws with the Pepto, but we'll see.

If it helps that's all that matters. I think the most important thing is

the diet for a few days to get him regulated somewhat. He's still got the

same inflamation he had 3 wks. ago from the anti-biotic, which started the

whole

thing. Dr. was very pleased with the smallness of Glenn's tummy and almost

lack of fluid....

It would be so nice to have some semblance of normalcy in this house for a

while... maybe we're headed that way....at least until he eats something like

fried chicken or an Italian Sub or some other dumb thing that one knows is

not what you should be eating right now....woe is me....LOL

BTW, thanks for asking, Deb...

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle

Thank You God that it is only colitis. I mean colitis is not a little

thing but compared to other things it is. Hopefully it will get

better now. Ingrid
