Friday night we got home and Philip's stomach was very distended. You could see the veins in his cranial abdomen and his belly button had become an "outie". I called Dr. Schmidt to see what we should do. Philip was not in pain and acted as if nothing was wrong! He told us to take a look at him in the morning (since he has not been constipated at all). If it still looks this way, we are to take him to the ER at MCV for radiographs. He is concerned this could be a liver issue and the portal vein may be backing up (causing the veins to be more prominent), which can also cause an enlarged spleen.
Saturday morning he woke up looking a little better. Still poochy, but not tight. Dr. Schmidt sayd for us to start Miralax and cause some diarrhea for the next couple of days to flush out his system.
This is Day 2 and no diarrhea! Tomorrow we will double the dose. FUN!
