McKenna in Hospital

Year three and poor Mickey still can't catch a break. After four days of a distended tummy, daddy insisted McKenna be taken to doctor. Mommy was convinced mickey just needed to poop more and all would be well, so I was annoyed when doctor said we needed X-ray of tummy to make sure no obstruction of the bowels, though she thought it probably was just constipation and gas. Got home after the X-rays, McKenna took a nap with daddy, mommy gave her more miralax and then the doctor called saying X-ray showed it is not constipation. Doctors didn't know what was causing distended tummy, but wanted McKenna admitted to the hospital to confirm if she had obstructed bowels. Problem is to determine that she would need a ct scan which is a no go because that would give her radiation. Long story short, we got to hospital, she has an IV in her arm, they drew blood and did catheter urine sample (all tests came back normal but dehydrated slightly). They are waiting to do ct scan to see if she gets better on her own. After an hour and a half dry heaving and small spit ups they gave her meds to help nausea. She has had several bowel movements and passed gas several times. Her stomach is still distended but quite a bit softer and the nausea appears to be controlled now with the zofran meds. She is asleep now, so hopefully will be able to sleep through the night. If McKenna is same or better tomorrow they are considering it an "ileus" which is a tummy bug. If does worse or poor during the night they will do testing tomorrow to verify if obstructed bowels. No doubt it will be a long night.
