Can everyone stop being sick for a second?

[papie]

I just want to be ALONE. DH was home sick Monday and Tuesday. Anna yesterday with cramps and constipation and then she got a fever last night. So she is home again.
And Alex wouldn't stop crying this morning. Teeth? Ear infection? He is home too!
And then my mom is coming today until tomorrow, which is awesome, because she will help. But it also means that my next opportunity to be alone in the house is Monday.

I hate everyone.

Yep, all clear. So the diagnosis is simply "chronic constipation". Which plain sucks.

Ugh. Sorry, Papie.

Have you looked into daily magnesium supplements? I don't know how old she is or what the dosage would be for kids.

I take magnesium twice a day for my constipation and it really helps.

I take it at night (not for constipation) and when I first started taking it I recall being shocked at how...voluminous things were the first few mornings. I felt like I could jump into the air and float away! Lol.

lol. Yes. When I stop taking it for a couple of days I absolutely notice a difference. It helps so, so much. My constipation is not anywhere near as bad as Anna's though. Poor girl.
