Let me count the ways that my life is insane. Where shall we start? I guess we will start with Ross. The more I learn about motility and bowel management the more I began to realize that Ross is not quite right in that area. He has been having 10+ bowel movements a day. We always thought he was just a super pooper. WRONG. He is WAY constipated. Packed bowels. GREAT… now we are going to have to take HIM to see Dr. Levitt… and my life’s irony is complete. My IA child who was born with no anus has a great outlook for continence. Then there is my kid who has seemingly nothing else wrong with him…. and he may need bowel management. GREATTTTTT…. once again story of my life.
THEN in all the hub bub of trying to make sure that Ross gets what he needs done… we were searching through Kyleigh’s old scans and came across her x-ray from August 10. Low and behold… THERE was the screw. It was there on Aug 10 and NO ONE TOLD US. That kind of almost pisses me off. Really… did we not find it necessary to divulge that little piece of information? So that screw had been in there at LEAST two months! And then………………
I took a close look at the August xray and the October one… the screw has NOT moved. It was in the SAME place as it was in Aug. Then it clicked.
Whenever Kyleigh passed the screw I remember thinking dang that was tiny… it looked so big on the x-ray. Then I said to myself…. there is a sharp pointed tip on that screw that just came out and I could SWEAR that the one in Kyleigh looked like it had had the tip broken off. I blew it off… said I was paranoid. Today after further examining it… I am 100% convinced that the screw she passed was NOT the screw on that x-ray. Don’t ask me how or why… that i may never be able to tell you. Tomorrow morning we will have another x-ray on Kyleigh to tell us what I feel like is inevitable. The screw I am almost certain is still there. And we have Chicago waiting for us. And my baby boy has bowels that are all stopped up.
Anyone wanna trade me their life for one day? I am REALLY ready for a break now.

Dear Sweet Amber! Your life is really in the pooper right now, isn’t it?!?!? Sorry, I just couldn’t pass that up…..Just trying to make you laugh! I will keep Kyleigh in my prayers that the screw is no longer there! Please, lord, please!!! And also a special prayer for Ross. And for you!!
