Poor Nic

Nic has had some pretty bad tummy issues for a few weeks. Every time I am about to drive across town to the doc he gets better, then he gets worse again. Yesterday was an especially bad day, so i took to him Dr. Lattin at 4 in the afternoon. (They were only 45 minutes behind schedule) So here is the deal...
1. Strict BRAT diet
2. No milk (even his lactose free milk)
3. Probiotics
4. Poop collection.

Regarding #4 I went this morning to the lab to pick up the containers and I have collect "samples" for 3 consecutive days. 2 containers every day except for the 3rd day in which there are 3 containers.

I am thinking that I dont want to dig his poop out of the toilet, there is a limit, right? I love that child with all I have but I want to draw the line at digging his poop out of the toilet. But of course I wont I will just complain about it and blog about it and be completely disgusted about it but I will do it. It's my job.

Hopefully his poop will show some sort of bacteria and then an antibiotic will fix him right up, if not off the the GI doc we go for xrays to make sure he does not have a blockage or something! I'll bet anyone $20 that it will not be as simple as antibiotics. It will be more complicated...if Im wrong drinks are on me!

oh, sad. Poor little guy! Hopefully it's just something simple. You are being punished enough having to scoop poop!
