Clean out question??

[katyc]

So I have not re-scheduled jacks scopes because he had a horrible response to the miralax....

My question is can they just do the ennema(sp?) instead?? And if they do is that before or after they put him out


I really just dont want to put him throught that pain again....

I am going to guess that if you discuss it with his doc there is an alternative...what happened? Izz vomited up the entire prep for her first scope and we were given an alternate prep and I was allowed to give her zofran to help her keep it down.

He screamed and moaned and cried in pain all night....had horrible gas and was all out miserable and we only did it for a day and half....

Your case is kind of breaking my heart. ale:
You must be frantic with worry. I watched V go through prep at dx and vowed never again.

Here's how we do it and she is scoped every year:
5 days prior to scopes start all liquid diet. NO solid food except jello, popsicles etc.
24 hr prior, Pedialyte only
2hr prior, nothing by mouth

This works great and no need for the actual prep solution. With a baby I'd think the all liquid diet would be easy.

They wanted me to do four days of 3/4 capsules of miarlax twice a day....so they only scope on monday so it starts on thursday....he can have breakfast on sunday morning then only clear liquids and nothing after 5am...on monday......

I really dont want to do the miralax again.....but they said they needed his poop clear....

we finally gave in and gave him some bendrayl and he is finally sleeping. the HFM is taking a toll...

he has it everywhere and his finger tips are starting to swell....he even has it in his ears now....also on hands, arms elbows, calves, thighs, feet
But not in his mouth except way down in throat that I saw at dr on friday....nothing on the "trunk" of his body....this is much worse than the first time he had HFM.....

There are things other than miralax...and why 4 days...is he constipated? I can't imagine 4 days on clear liquids either. We do i1 contaoner of miralax in 64 oz gatorade (I ignore their request to give her a pill besides). The day before she is on clear liquids and npo after midnight. I am thinking mag citrate was the prep she had before...but I know there are different ones...maybe a different kind will be easier. Hope his hfm clears up soon
