Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 So I took Maddy to the ER today as her pediatrican told us to since her abdominal pain has continued. She still has no fever and WBC count was normal.Since last night she developed a lump on the right side of her abdomen and it looked bruised. They didan xray and said she is constipated. She has been pooping everyday and it normal looking and I asked the Er doc well does constipation cause pain like that and cause a lump with a bruise to appear and he ignored the question so we left.I think poop shouldnt poke her. We also went to the neurosurgeon and saw Dr. Magram as Dr. Woodward was not in today. He didnt say much about the lump. However after the xray the bruise went away. He said she might be constipated and I told him she isnt and told him she has been pooping everyday and says something is poking her and says it feels better when she takes a deep breathe in. He ordered some labs and told us to keep her off the diamox as long as we can. He didnt order a shunt series or anything as her regular doc will get mad. So tomorrow we have to get a crp and sed rate and they can draw those off the port. I am at a loss.Im gonna give her a suppository tonight and see if I can get all the poop out tonight and tomorrow and see how she is. I am wondering since the pain happens when she is sitting or bending over if tubing is poking down somewhere. I will post an update tomorrow. Any thoughts are welcome.
