A crappy lower GI

A persistent battle with Annabelles little body is her lower GI system. No one will tell us what the problem is.. I struggle to even find a doctor to look into it for us. But the constipation and short amount of time that she becomes impacted is just unreal. Last night was no different. 

Soon after getting home, she began to complain that her bottom was hurting. I asked her what was wrong and she wouldn't answer me. She's too scared to talk about any pains. She would rather lie and tell us she isn't in pain, than tell us where it hurts so we can help her. It's heartbreaking. But it's our reality and in her defense.. When she needs help, it usually does involve more pain before it gets better. I don't blame her :(

Our evening was spent upstairs in the bathroom for two hours. Fortunately our neighbor is kind enough to take Mady to to dance class so AK and I both were able to stay home with Annabelle. She was trying so hard to pass the stool but it was visibly excruciating. I won't go into detail.. Just know this poor kid went thru hell. Once we were able to make headway, I ran to the store to grab more enemas and administered that. 

Annabelle is 3 and a half. She laid in the bathroom floor literally shaking from head to toe with pain so excruciating it took her breath away. As parents we try our best to encourage and help her.. We cause her more pain than we ever would want to see her in and she cries so hard in confusion... Confused why sissy is at dance class and she's paralyzed in the bathroom floor surrounded by her parents with tear-filled eyes. 

I wish I knew why this happens to her. Annabelles diet is so much more balanced than it's ever been, she takes mineral oil daily and we push fluids thru her tubing constantly. It's like her bowels just stop and won't move. 

I pray we get answers soon for this. It's getting so much worse when everything points that it should be getting better.
