He has some kind of issue where he wont poop. We went to the Dr. yesterday and started some testing with blood work and all. Tomorrow we go to the hospital at noon for a barium enema. This test is to rule out the worst case scenario. There is a small chance Jack has a defect called Hirschsprung's Disease.
Basically babies with this are born with some section of the large intestine lacking nerves. The treatment for this is surgery to remove that portion of the colon. Depending on how much has to be removed, the range of recovery can be anything from absolutely no residual effects to lifelong chronic stomach problems.
Jack has 2 of the major indicators but lacks several other indicators of Hirschsprung's. Please keep us in your prayer. It has been a difficult couple of months for this little guy.
