Lexi and the tummy ache

Since August Lexi has been getting tummy aches just about every other week. She's in a lot of pain and doesn't sleep well because it hurts so bad.  I took her to the doctor multiple times and was told each time she was constipated and to give her Miralax.  We did that for months and finally last week when I took her in yet again, I demanded more be done.  So we got to go to Primary Children's and have x-rays and her blood drawn to check for celiac.
She was so brave!  When they drew her blood, she didn't even flinch, and then she watched as the blood left her sweet little body.  I couldn't even watch.  :(




She got stickers at both doctors and she put them all over her face.  And she refused to take off her green wrap on her arm.  In the night, the "bandaid fairy" had to come and take it off.  When she woke up in the morning she immediately noticed it was gone and said, "Why didn't anyone sign my cast?"
Love her!
Results came back that she was extremely backed up and we upped her dose of Miralax and added Ex-Lax also.  Nothing too impressive has come out yet, but no tummy aches this week!

We had to do a complete clean out with my son. It was no fun but it worked!
