I didn't know you had a son that deals with encopresis!!! We should chat sometime. I have an 8 year old that is still dealing with it and the daily frustration is huge. :( Congratulations on his success!! I hope he continues to do better and better!!!!
Amanda, we should! It is frustrating, embarrassing, and there's little to no help out there, it seems, for it.
Sumner's started in September. Right after he started p/ting. However, we now wonder if he didn't have issues with it even sooner. We also wonder how much of his is sensory-related.
I wish I knew a magic cure...nothing changed, literally, to cause him to go yesterday. I just hope it is a step in the right direction.
When I started this blog, I originally thought it was going to be a taderbaby...we chose the nickname after the delicious spuds served at Young's Jersey Dairy...but quickly found out it was tader tots! At 28 weeks gestation my placenta started abrupting and I was briefly hospitalized, then put on strict bedrest. At 31w 4d I was let up for an hour a day. At 32w on the dot, I was re-admitted for bleeding and began a four day fight to stop labor which I lost on 2.15.07 when Jack's placenta abrupted fully. If I hadn't been at the hospital, we wouldn't have made it. Upon birth, Jack's apgar was 3. The boys spent 4 weeks in NICU and this is their story, and mine.
