Poor Lily :(

last Thursday her school called me at work at 2.30pm, Lily was hysterical!? As she really isn't that funny there had to be a problem, so I did as every good mum would and dashed right over to school. The root of the problem........she was constipated! It had been about 4 days. The next 24 hours really wasn't the funnest either of us have ever had. We had tried everything; prune juice, fruit, water, apricots, laxatives even suppositories. All to no avail. So as the crying and screaming had been constant by 10pm we had put a call into her doctor, who helpfully suggested giving her an enema! OMG!!

As she has just passed out, I decided to wait!

But Friday was no different and so the deed had to be done. Poor Lily.

She sat on the couch and said in a very quiet voice "Mommy, never put anything up my bum ever again!"
I felt very bad, but at least she had Diego and Dora to help cheer her up!

Thank goodness prunes used to work for you at that age. Glad she's feeling better. Just keep up the fibre intake before her visit home next week as we do not want to see her in pain.
