We're getting things moving!


Thank you all for your prayers -

Gabriel is finally getting things moving, gastrointestinally that is. If you have a terribly weak stomach and can't talk poop, this post is not for you.

Here's how it went:

We spent 4 days at home cleansing Gabriel's system - magnesium citrate is nasty stuff, but it works. We had liquid goo everywhere - I can't tell you how much Folex we used on the carpets! Since that time, almost 4 weeks ago, we have been priming him with Miralax once a day, and then we spend 1/2 hour on the toilet with a DVD after lunch and dinner. In almost 4 weeks, we've only had a handful of accidents in his pull-ups. Can't tell you how glad I am that because he is disabled, the state pays for his wipes - we went through 1 1/2 boxes of Costco wipes in this time frame!

Thank you again for your prayers for our miracle - for a child whom they said would never sit up, walk or talk, he sure is amazing! I guess, in a sense, they were right. He stands up, runs and screams!!! Blessings to you all in this holiday season!
