I took Makenneh in yesterday. He checked her glands, felt her abdomen and there is some tenderness around the sigmoid colon. He had to do a simple rectal exam to check for blockage there. That seemed to be fine. He has suggested that I give her an oil retention enema followed by a saline enema and see if that helps. He is thinking that, like many kids, she held a bowel movement too long, causing some partial blockage. I hope that is it. He did do a urine test to check for a few things but they all came back negative. If the enema doesn't seem to help, then I take her back in to do some blood work. However, with all that said, she has not thrown up since early Sunday Morning. So, it almost seems as if she is better. I just don't know.
After the doc, I took the kids up to get their hair cut at a new salon...they had free hair cuts for kids 13 and under. Makenneh just got a trim...but it looks so much healthier. Seb got his shortened right up, can be spiked now. Of course, when she tried to spike it after cutting it, he gave her a scoul. HE doesn't like the spiked 'do at all. Never has.
it's raining cats, dogs and even horses here today. It doesn't look like it's going to clear up any time soon. Forecast says rain most of the day....most of the rest of the week really. blah.
Well, we are getting ready to head out the door, just wanted to update everyone on Makenneh's issue.

Praying that things are better now and that there is nothing else to worry about! Thanks for updating! I have been checking every little bit to see if you updated! Hope the rain stops for you!
Thanks for the update. I was wondering how Makenneh was doing. I hope the enema helps her.
Cool on the free haircuts. :)
Rained most of the day here too. Off and on, but too much to do anything outside.
