"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."-Emerson

Good News

Another post about poop. Hopefully it's one of the last.
We got into the specialist today and I feel like we got some good news. He doesn't think it's celiac disease, lactose or milk intolerance, or hirschsprunger disease. She no longer has a restricted diet!!!! Chances are good that it's just functional constipation. But he's going to run a bunch of tests just to be sure. So she had another x-ray today, they'll test a stool sample, run some more blood tests, she's getting a barium x-ray on thursday (she'll be sedated for that, the poor girl has had enough trauma down there) and then in April is scheduled for an endoscopy and while she's under for that they'll take some samples from her colon. But the prognosis is looking good so I'm hopeful.
On a different note...
At dinner tonight Debbie was talking about how hard her day had been, "It's been the worst day! Everyone at school was bossing me around and what's worse? The boys wouldn't chase the girls at recess!! They kept making us chase them!!" Get used to it babe, that seems to be the case nowadays.
Also...
Isaac really needs a haircut. :)
