Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Those of you with the go-lytely experience, how do your kids act in the days following it? The first night, friday night, Kody was really cuddly and tired. I figured from being up all night and just from the whole ordeal. Then Saturday he was very emotional and had melt down after melt down all day long and he wanted to just sit on my lap in the evening, eventually going to bed early (about 7pm). Then today he also had meltdowns, but his activity level is way down from even yesterday. At least yesterday he played some. Today he wanted to go to sleep in church, and he kept leaning on me (usually he sits by Grandpa and is pretty much all over the pew!!), when we got home he curled up on the couch and then after lunch asked if he could take a nap! Which he did, for about 2 hours, when he got up he brought what he calls " Mommie's blankie " (a down lap quilt, LOL!) to me and sat on my lap and just rocked for a long time. Then again he asked to go to bed early, about 7ish. This time he asked for his blue blankie (a very beloved ratty old holey blue blanket he's had since birth). We have had blue blankie put away in a shadow box frame and hanging in his room for about a year, and other than the first few days we put it up, he hasn't asked for it. Until tonight. He also appears to have a tic today. He keeps bringing the left corner of his mouth up, almost like he's trying to wink. When I tell him to stop that, his answer is " I can't, I have to " . What is going on?? I'm starting to get worried.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Macey's had no problems with the GoLytely. Her electrolytes are checked every so often and before discharge when she's been admitted. If he's dehydrated or his sodium is out of whack that could cause a problem.
