Problems going Potty...

Grace had some problems going potty before we checked out of the hospital, which is why we were there for so long. They had to give her a catheter every 3 hours, and she also hadn't had a bowel movement. So she was taking laxatives and prune juice, and mommy and daddy had to learn how to give her a catheter as a requirement to going home. Finally, mom argued enough with the nurses to let us go home, and so they called the doctor, who said "I don't know what you're still doing here! Yes, you can go home!" We had to give her a catheter every 3 hours for awhile, and finally were able to stop 10 days after getting home! That was a major relief, because it took a lot out of us, and her, to have to stop what we were doing to cath her. She was still having constant problems with constipation, but nothing a little prune juice couldn't help!
