how much fiber have you had today?

How much fiber have we had today? As little as possible.

On purpose, though. W has to have a colonoscopy on Tuesday to remove a polyp that we discovered a couple of weeks ago. Polyps like this are not common in toddlers, but luckily, the chance of it being abnormal are only 1 in 10 - this increases the older you get. He will get put out for this so we have to go to the Children's hospital - same place we went when G had her dental surgery a couple years ago. It is not a long procedure, but the preparation for it is the long and icky part as some of you adults may know. And it is hard to reason with our 2 yr old about why he can't have certain foods, as well as having to deal with cleaning his system out Monday, so this will be a rough couple of days!

Saturday - low fiber diet
Sunday (today) - same low fiber diet, and 64 oz of water (if possible),
Monday - clear liquid diet after midnight on Sunday, icky stuff to drink in afternoon that will clear out his system
Tuesday - nothing to eat or drink after midnight on Monday

We are thankful that both grandmas will be coming to help. My mom should be here soon, and S's mom will come tomorrow morning. That will provide plenty of good distraction for W tomorrow, hopefully!

So please keep W (and all of us) in your prayers for the next few days. Pray that the procedure be safe and successful, and that we all have patience and resolve with the preparation for it. We will post an update after Tuesday to let you know how it all went.
