[QUOTE="Betty B, post: 619181, member: 17641"] For everyone that posted..... Thank you so very much! I don't feel so frustrated and alone. And just to have someone say, "I understand" made me feel so much LESS like a horrible person for feeling the way I feel. For those of you who have 'been there, done that" with this condition, thanks for your words of encouragement. I think that's what I needed....just SOMEONE to say, "I understand how you feel and what you're going through!" This weekend was ok...I was able to revert back to just 'hushing up' and keeping in mind that he can't help it. Dad and I had a go-around or two about keeping the issue contained. I backed off on the suggestion for incontinence products but did restate my need for the issue to be cleaned up or contained. I can't deal with it being everywhere. That's just not an option. It just isn't. He said that if I find poo anywhere, to let him know and he will clean it or let SS know he needs to clean it. We'll see how it goes. Update on the medical side of things....some of you have asked. We did have him go to a pediatric specialist. They are claiming he is cleaned out now (via xray) and we should be on the 'tail-end' of the issue. The doctor is estimating maybe another 6 mos or so until his colon which is VERY stretched out goes back to normal. He has to do PT to assist with biofeedback and stengthening muscles. And if we could just get him to SIT. Some of the accidents could be minimized. Here's to hoping there's only 6 months left! [/QUOTE]
