She finally pooped! After giving her bottles with prune juice in them since last night, she finally pooped. And not a rock hard nugget that causes all the pressure, but some normal, disgusting, foul smelling, baby poop! Praise God, and prune juice!
After she pooped, her soft spot was a little softer. We're still on high alert, watching her every movement, checking her soft spot, shunt, back, eye reaction to light, tummy bloating, bowel sounds, and level of alertness. But, she's smiling, cooing, eating, and (finally) pooping!
I think we're going to be okay to wait until Thursday for her next head scan and meeting with Dr. Greene. Prayers for good news, no faulty shunt, and no surgery! Prayers that all it took was a couple bottles of prune juice to avoid a life-threatening complication. How beautifully simple, prune juice, and how incredibly grateful I am to have had the privelage to change that disgusting, massive, relieving, mess-of-a-diaper just a little bit ago! So again, praise God, and praise prune juice!
