So far as a new parent, I have done a lot of praying...for a job for Eric, for a job for me, for a house, for a move, for Addie's acid reflux, for Addie, period. But today I am praying that somehow, someway, Addie will poop. It probably sounds silly and downright disgusting - but when your child won't sleep for two nights in a row because she is constipated, curls her legs up in her crib literally SCREAMING, and looks at you like, "why can't you fix it?" - it makes you get on her hands and knees and pray for poop.
God - bless this child with the ability to pass this "grumpy" (as dad likes to refer to them - because they make her quite grumpy when she can't!). Enable her to do it without a lot of further pain. Help the doctors figure out this new symptom and find a way to fix it. Please heal her little body and let her parents rest both mentally and physically.
Amen.
