Kupa Update

So, I was prepared to tell everyone the good news – hell, I was going to shout it from the rooftop (in 0 degree weather I might add) that we have been kupa-free since 9am. HOWEVER, just as I was typing the title of this post, I heard *grrrrruuuuuunt* *unghhhhhhh* *ehhhhhhhhhh* *unhhhhhhhh* *gruuuuuuuuuunt* coming from GG in the other room. Then the odor hit me like a ton of bricks, and we were back to square one in less than 30 seconds flat. So, after changing my darling little kupa factory, I am back to tell you that we went to the pediatrician this afternoon and they are stumped. I had to bring in a sample specimen of kuperrific proportion, so that they could send it off to the lab and find out what’s wrong. Funny thing is, the smell was so bad that I kept getting these looks from other moms there, like “damn girl, change your child” or “damn sister, take a bath”. I could have died of embarrassment sitting in that waiting room all of 3 minutes. So, I pulled out the blame game lines – “My child is the youngest ever known case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.” Well, in my head I said that, but on the outside I just sat and hid my face in shame. Anyway, now we just wait for the lab results to see if they can find what’s wrong. On a good note, he gained a pound in the last three weeks, isn’t vomiting, has no diaper rash, and is generally content. So, it could be worse, and I should just be thankful it’s only coming out of one end and not both.

    LOL. I love it. At least no rash, no vomit, and he gained a pound. You are doing something right! Hang in there. Hope he is better soon.

    I hope he starts feeling better, and that no one from the waiting rooms anonymously leaves you a bottle of Febreeze! haha :)

    I had to read back a little to find out what kupa is….you poor thing. I can just imagine how your house smells. I hope the doctor finds out what’s wrong soon!

    Nice to meet you, BTW. Cool blog. Thanks for stopping by mine!

    Sounds like my son when he was little. Went through the stool samples and x-rays. It ended up being rotavirus and we dealt with it on and off for awhile. It STINKS! We left more than one exam room uninhabitable. Literally. My sis had a doc appointment at the same group right after we left and the room had been closed to patients. LOL

    Hang in there.
