Hello, sorry I did't get a chance to check my mesage board, been busy with volunteering at my kids school 5 days a week. How is your daughter
doing? Sonja our daughter went to see her doctor
at the children hospital and it's still a go for
surgery, a cecostomy catheter. Did your daughter have stools that were very hard then would have accidents of smearing stools? I can understand your frustration, we've been through it, both my husband and I. The dr think it's all in our mind.
From what I'm told this ailment is rare and not too many dr are up to the minute on these rare ailments. Sonja our daughter, gets enemas every
2 days or twice a week depending how she is. Have you tried to get a biopsy of her intestines, we saw blood in her diapers and after fighting with the drs we were able to find out it was fissures that was making her intestines rip and bleed. No
other disease were found. Does she wears diapers or underwear? Our daughter wears diapers due to the smearing. I gave my email address feel free tto email me anytime, so we can chat more. Hope tto hear from you soon.
