Guest guest Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 Hi all! Well, we finished the last two of 6L of Colonlytely yesterday! That child of mine never ceases to amaze me. I don't think I could manage to drink 6L with the minimal complaints that she produces..... We had an ultrasound this morning - the lump in her caecum is cleared. Unfortunately, they couldn't come up with any physical reasons for why these lumps keep forming, so now I have to organise a barium enema for a six year old. Having had one myself, I really don't know how they are going to achieve this..... It's certainly going to involve lots of sedation, I know that much! Hope Eilish recovers quickly from her op. . Much love to all at CF parents, - Mum to Cate 10yrs wocf and Sian 6yrs wcf, asthma, GERD and ADD Canberra Australia- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 My 3 year old had a barium enema a few weeks ago. They didn't sedate him because they wouldn't be able to see his intestines work if they did. He was a very good boy and handled it very well. I always prepare him ahead of time before any procedure by explaining to him on his level what they are going to do and why. It wasn't any fun of course but it wasn't the worst test he has ever had done.
