Emergency room visits

We have my x-best friends 2 yr old living with us for the last month. And in this last month we have gone to the emergency room 9 times. She has what is called rectal prolapse where her rectum comes oyut after a bowel movement. It doesn't happen every time thank god, but it has been happening a lot more. We have gone to the valley emergency room 3 times and childrens 6 times. Tonight is trip number ten and we r going all the way back to childrens. Childrens is an hour away, and doing that more than twice a week is killing our gas tank and our wallets.She is usually the happiest kid and is always giggling. But when her issues flaire she is lethargic and miserable, its heart breaking. The doctors just want us to wait it out to see if she will grow out of the problem but we have no idea when that will be so they are talking about surgery, but are pretty much refusing to do it. And that pisses us off. We are sick of having this miserable child.

Aw, poor kid =[ That's gotta be tough for her, and for all of you as well. Hopefully her problem will end soon, without the need of surgery. Best of luck for her and your family. Take care.
