Ben has been used to taking stuff for yrs that isnt much of a problem.  Im going to have to call the Dr tomorrow and set an appt for thur to get another xray.    He still hasnt pooped.   Im starting to worry now.

Let us be reminded of what Captain John Parker told his army at Lexington Green, the place where the War for Independence began in 1775. He said, “Stand your ground. Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.

I would suggest like Katy said, Miralax. It works miracles! Will he eat prunes? Might try getting him to eat some of them.?. Poor Ben! :( That is NO fun!

He is a prune eater.   Have an appt in the morning to get him re xrayed to may sure the impaction is gone.   Im concerned that it is still there and the diarrhea we are seeing once a day is just the 160 oz of fluids he has been getting just going around the impaction.   Will let yall know tomorrow.

Okay his ascending colon is empty and his descending colon is full but of soft stool, but poor fella has a hard ball at the end that needs to come out  :D

His blood pressure was high again, so went and bought a manual monitor so I can check it at home, hopefully it is just the pain/Dr office combo that has it raised.   

Also we will be checking him in 2 weeks to see if his B.U.N level has lowered and creatinine levels are normal.   Sure hope so otherwise that will be kidney problems.  Keep him in your prayers
