Emma Tries Apple Juice

Over the past few days Emma has been constipated. It just breaks my heart to see her try so hard to go to the bathroom and not much comes out and it hurts her. I should have never left it up to Michael to call her pediatrician about this issue because he got things totally messed up. Well we could give Emma two ounces of water or an ounce of water and an ounce of juice. According to Michael, he thought the pediatrician said to give Emma apple, pear, and prune juice. I thought that was a weird combination, but maybe there was such a thing. We tried just the water, but she didn’t really like it. So we went to Walgreens to pick up some juice for Emma and while there I asked the pharmacist. She said it is one of the three juices, not all three combined. We bought apple juice and tried it when we got home. Emma really didn’t like it, as you can tell by her facial expressions. She would gulp down a few big sips, but then spit out most of it. From what she did get, she didn’t really care for. We need to kind of push this though, otherwise she will remain constipated and I don’t want to see her in pain while trying to go to the bathroom. We will try each day to give her these fluids. It is kind of funny, yet heart breaking, at the same time.


"Hey, this isn't so bad."


"Oh wait, yes it is! This is disgusting!"
