I'm 33 weeks old today!
Masinja had a much more eventful week than he would have preferred. He had problems with his bowel movements, or rather a major lack there of for a whole week. T.M.M. tried giving him a suppository based on the doc's advice. After that didn't bring him any relief, we were concerned that he might have an obstruction so we took him to see the pediatric surgeon. The doc ordered an x-ray to see what was going on, but it came back inconclusive. He then ordered a contrast enema. Masinja was not very excited about that, but I can't imagine too many people would be. The doc said that not only would it give us a better understanding of what was going on, but it would act like "slickum" and help to give Masinja some relief. They didn't find an obstruction, he was just constipated because he was lacking fiber in his diet. The "slickum" effect certainly took place and Masinja has been feeling much better since.
Masinja is still scheduled for his hernia surgery next Tuesday. We'll update y'all next week.
That's all for now.
Peace,
T.M.
