DS really didn't have well formed stools until after we switched from formula to whole milk at 18 months. His stools were consistently yellowish/green and very soft and I was forever asking "what do normal stools look like", only to be told "you'll know" No, I didn't have a clue. Especially when he was on pregistimil for a week and I was told bright grass green colored poop was normal. Didn't look like any normal poop I'd ever seen.

Well, I spoke with the CF doc today and Briceton's bronch showed heavy growth of pseudo. Although we are not new to hospital stays, this is Briceton's first fight with pseudo and will be my first hospital stay with him alone, without my hubby! When I got the results of his bronch, I felt like somebody stabbed me in my chest. I knew this was pretty much inevitable, culturing pseudo, but was hoping it wouldn't happen so soon.


The good news, they are going to work on trying to get his bowel movements straighten out, or at least figure out the problem while he is in the hospital. We go in on Monday unless he gets sick over the weekend.


All good vibes are welcomed! Also, any ideas on keeping a 14 month old, that just learned to walk, and also in isolation, busy? His past hospital visits he wasn't mobile and he was pretty easy to entertain. I'm seriously dreading this one!


IThanks!

Oh Sherry, I can totally understand the blow that the pseudo gave to your gut. I'm very glad the docs are on top of it and his digestive issues and hopefully after this hospital visit he will be doing much better.

My daughter was hospitalized at 14 months as well. Its a hard age in the hospital. Not old enough to watch tv (though believe me we tried) and to old to sit still. A lot will depend on him and his interests. We read a lot of books, tried to watch baby einstein, and spent countless hours walking around the room in a hospital wagon.

I'm sure if you do a search of the site there will be lots of good ideas of what to bring to the hospital. Crayons were a big hit when Alyssa was in. I also suggest some messier art stuff -- like shaving cream he can play with on the high chair tray, or even finger paints. Maybe play-doh if he won't eat it.

Good luck and big hugs to you both. Hopefully they will send him home on IVs after a few days.
