Evan has been complaining that his belly has hurt on and off since Saturday. Today I asked him if it hurt bad enough to go to the doctor - fully expecting him to say no. He said it did hurt that bad - so off to the doctor we went. The doctor doesn't think it is a blockage or appendicitis or anything "surgical". At this point he is thinking constipation (though Evan has gone poop since it all started). He prescribed three scoops of Miralax in some Gatorade and call him in a few days if the pain continues. I never realized that your kids' poop was such a huge part of parenting. It seems like I am forever telling them to poop, or coaching them through a poop or breaking up poop with a plastic cat litter scoop looking for a penny. The poop never ends.
