Anti Fungal Medicine is working
Our little guy is pooping again. He’s had a foot fungus thing going on for a few months now. There is a school of thought that if there is an external fungal expression, that there could be an internal fungal imbalance going on too. I’ll update this post soon with what medication he has been taking.
POOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 8 weeks of not pooping on his own we have resumed an ‘aggressive’ poop schedule! I cannot believe that after 8 weeks of on/off entero and of his system shutting down he is now pooping again. WOW! I didn’t want to post until I was pretty certain that we had turned a corner. Last […]

4 month post-op
Joey Cooper is doing so so so so great! He saw the local surgeon at end of Sept and we were told we did not have to dilate anymore….BUT when we spoke w/ our Cincinnati surgeon he recommended weaning him off the dilator- which will take another few months. So we still dilate, now down […]
WE HAVE POOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today was a little rough as Joe made me leave and take a break from the hospital (and to have a little Ella time- which was AWESOME!) BUT of course on the day I decide to leave Joey Coop has some bouts of throwing up. So they ordered an xray to make sure no blockage […]
