My Constipated Son

On the second day of Chinese New Year and Oscar has been acting strangely since Friday night. Not that he wants to sneak out of the house or eat raw chilies, but, he has been standing in one corner of the house quietly and occasionally you will hear “mmm, mmm”. For those who do not know my son, whenever he makes this sound, it means he wants to do some big business. Well, he has been doing this for two days and no results to it. And today, for no particular reason, he wept uncontrollably cos I suspect his stools are very hard and requires a lot of effort to ‘push’ it out…. Oh gosh, me and hubby are like nuts cos we really do not know how to help our son and Oscar has got this worrying frown on his face too.

Sigh, just have to wait and see what happens tomorrow. But his buttock is really red and he screams ‘pain, pain’ whenever I washed his bottom before bed and sometimes when he sits down.
