Callie's Belly Pain

So last Thursday Callie started complaining her stomach was hurting and of course I just thought ok well go in go to the bathroom and you will feel better. It was also close to dinner time so I thought she was just hungry. Well she went to the bathroom she ate dinner and she still had a really bad belly ache. It was so bad it kept her up a good part of the night. I felt so bad because she does have a high pain tolerance and if she is complaining it must really be hurting. Well we got through the night the next day she was fine and then it hit her again on Saturday night. She was just rolling on the floor in pain. I felt so bad! I called my Sister in Law and asked her if she knew of a flu bug that was going around and she said ya one that sounded just like the same thing Callie was going through. I thought well great this will pass. Well she didn't have pain again Sunday and then Monday night it hit full force again...It started about 5 and didn't go away until like 3 in the morning. She will fall asleep ok because she is so tired but she can't stay asleep. I would try so many different things but nothing worked. I called the Dr. first thing Tuesday morning and had her in the Dr. that morning. They determined she might have acid reflux and gave me antacids and they also wanted to run a urine culture...Mind you it took me all day to get her to pee in the cup. They also wanted to do a belly X-Ray. Well we got the results back from that yesterday and they determined that she was REALLY BACKED UP. She was constipated. Well duh! Who would have thought. I sure didn't. She was going to the bathroom on a regular basis and it looked normal to me... so needless to say we are doing a clense on her system and she is going to be living on the potty for the next couple of days...So we will see how bad it is when it hits...Lets hope this takes care of her belly aches and we start getting more sleep cause this Mommy is tired.

No fun for any of you. I hope that the cleanse works, and you can all get the rest you need, especially you.
