An update on Aiden...

Aiden is ok, we are still going back and fourth with the doctors and the hospital. Last Friday morning we had an appointment with the pediatrician to check his weight and stuff. The only good thing about the day was that he gained a pound. So we were all happy about that. Then the doctor sent us to the CHOP (children’s hospital of Philadelphia) emergency room for some testing. He wanted them to give him an ultrasound to test him for Pyloric Stenosis. They took Aiden right back and started to check him out. After talking to them about everything that has been going on with him they said it can’t be Pyloric Stenosis because he does not have projectile vomiting. John and I told them about how we have read it doesn’t always start out that way and such and they didn’t want to hear it. We also told them about Jenna’s and Joshua’s story. They still didn’t want to hear it. Poor little Aiden was starving because they wouldn’t let him eat unitl they figured out what kind of tests they were going to run on him for in case he had to be fasting. He was screaming & crying and after 6 hours us constantly asking if we could feed him and them telling us no. We finally insisted we were going to that it was bullshit to make him suffer. They took a couple of x-rays and said everything looked fine and then some bitch shoved her finger up his poor lil ass to check for blood in his poop. She couldn’t get any poop so proceeded to jam her finger up even higher. She wasn’t gentle or caring in the least bit. Aiden started screaming and crying at the top of his lungs. You would have thought that someone was cutting his fingers and toes off one by one. I wasn’t sure who was going to punch the doctor in the face first. Me or John. It was a long day and night and they really did nothing for us. We left with still no answers. We have to go back to CHOP on Monday because they want to do a rectal biopsy on him. They are testing him for Hirschsprung's Disease. I was so hoping that things would get better and we wouldn’t have to go that route, but they haven’t. I’m not sure if they are actually going to do the procedure on Monday or if we are just meeting with the surgeon so that he can check Aiden out and tell us what he thinks.

It just sucks and I wish I could do something for him. I’m desperate at this point. People are probably going to laugh at me and think I’m crazy. On Tuesday night we took Aiden up to Philly to see a psychic/spiritualist/healer so that she could do a healing on him. She was really awesome and seemed to know what she was talking about. She really calmed Aiden down a lot and he fell asleep in John’s arms while she was doing the healing. Every time she touched Aiden he would smile and let out this happy little sigh kind of noise. He hasn’t been going poop aside from when we give him meds to go but he has been sleeping better, he’s been more happy, and will actually sit by himself in his bouncy chair or crib for a little bit. Before he wouldn’t. She also suggested some homeopathic things to try so we are also doing that. Like I said, at this point I’m desperate and will try anything to make my lil man feel better. I hate that he’s in pain and it breaks my heart when he cries uncontrollably. So that’s about it on what’s going on with him. Hopefully we will find something out on Monday and he will be ok. You know? Anyway, I have to finish pumping and get ready to go. We have a wedding to go to this afternoon. I would just rather stay home all by myself with my lil boy. I absolutely love our time together and I’m going to miss it so much next week when I go back to work. I get to take him with me so that’s a good thing but it won’t be the same. We won’t have the same quality time to just hang out cuddle together.
