Cicily had an appointment with her gastroenterologist (gut doc) today. We told him about how she's been in horrible pain at night but then perfectly happy, typical Cicily during the day. He said he could shed some light on that. Apparently the intestines are fairly still except for right after we eat and at night. Since Cicily eats 24/7, her intestines are mostly active at night. And I know if I had air floating around in my abdomen and an inflamed colon I'd be calling out for the pain meds all the time. Cicily amazes me with her choice to be happy.
Hearing a sound medical explanation for the huge swing in how Cicily feels was very reassuring.
