More Medication for Aria

For about a week, Aria has been complaining that her tummy doesn't feel well. She has not been sleeping through the night and has been getting up multiple times between 12am and 3am. She's also not been eating very much and that has bothered us also.

So, we scheduled some appointments for yesterday and today. She saw the pulmonologist yesterday afternoon and the doctor said her lung function is normal but he is NOT taking her off any medications.

This morning she went to visit the gastroenterologist doctor and he said that her intestines are completely blocked up. Basically, she's constipated, which is a side effect of some of the medications she is on. So, on top of all the meds she's currently taking, we now have to add two more, X-lax and Miralax. She's not had to deal with this in the past because she was on antibiotics a lot and that took care of the constipation but she's not been getting infections in the past couple months and so she has not needed antibiotics.

My wife said that this is not going to be a fun weekend. I'm having a hard time keeping up with all the medicines. We're going to need to post a schedule on the fridge because we have some she takes in the morning, some she takes at night, and some she alternates and this is going to be three times a week. We had reduced one of the meds to once a day but now it's twice a day again. It's mind-boggling.

I told my wife that if something happens to her, Aria is in a world of hurt for me trying to keep track of it all. Let's pray that doesn't happen.

Keep my daughter, Aria, in prayer. She's a tough little girl and just rolls with the punches but it always seems that if it's not one thing, it's another. Pray for Tina. It's very stressful for all of us but Tina bears the brunt of it with all the doctor appointments, pharmacy visits, insurance hassles, financial stress, etc.

We praise and thank God for our daughter's strength. The doctors that God has brought our way and the medicine that we have that can help our daughter live a somewhat normal life.

We also thank God for his provisions. He's always taken care of us and I know He'll continue to do so in the future.
