I'm so thankful for sobriety right now! I hated it yesterday. I needing an escape. I didnt drink and I'm so glad I didnt drink. I have a little one who has been sick and had I drank I would not have been a good mom for him at 4am. We are still at the hospital.

Thank you. I am pretty sure it's not an actual emergency but we already saw a doctor in Friday and their treatment was too modest

I totally understand. most of us have been living in survival mode all of our lives. I get it.
Do you have a sober network? If not, get to meetings. They really help.

Definitely need new meetings but this is difficult with needing childcare for meetings. I stayed up and did one after he was in bed online. I didnt jive with it. I'll be doing it more. I have many irons in the fire while holding plates spinning on sticks.

We had a not so great experience. He managed to be fine while there. As soon as they discharged us and I literally paid my parking ticket started to turn and he worsened. Started puking. I knew he needed anti nausea meds but they wouldnt let us back in after just leaving. We waited from 5am until about 8/9 for a doctor. Thwre was no way I was going to make my sick boy wait another 4/5 hours after we just walked out. I called his doctors office and left a message for the on call. Hoping they can send a script for antinausea meds so he can take his other meds.

Didnt want to take him in at 4am. But he was crying hysterically about pain in his stomach. He fell asleep on the way there. I should have just come back home... and waited to see someone at urgent care today. Regardless, he sick and needs intervention and clearly treated us and me like I have no idea what hes going through. I knew what was wrong just like I tried to tell his doctor on friday. They said oh its it's probably just a bug. No he is impacted and needs cleared out. In my opinion this shouldn't be treated as go home. He needed cleaned out asap. Hes already impacted from days ago. If his bowls rupture.... because they dont listen..... and they risk his life. Because oh it's just constipation listen that kevek of constipation makes one very sick. And should be handled with swiftness.
Oh my, pool little guy, that’s awful. I’m so sorry to hear. Having raised three of my own I can identify. Perhaps a OTC remedy for home? On call Dr may have a solution? So sorry he’s going thru that.

Well... I went to the doctors. Firday. He woke up also at 4am puking. They treated it more like a bug. However knowing he hadnt gone I knew we was severely impacted. You don't puke from constipation unless its really bad. People are very dismissive of it and dont realize how sick you get as well as it leading to bowl ruptures if not handled. Now hes pulling agaib. I have IBS-c so ive my own its Amazing how ill informed doctors are on the severity of it. He is just learning number 2 on the toilet and not in his pants he just started a new school soo thinking he has been withholding.
Sorry and yes she suggested a very mild maybe some miralax so I tried prune juice, pear juice pears. Fruits. The whole thing. But he wasnt about it. I'm not sure how I will get him to take the miralax. Hes gotta get back in order quickly or we will end up back there.
Oh man that’s miserable. Try it all. I’m hesitant to give advice as I am not a doctor. Just a dad.
