Hooray for my boys

HOORAY for JADEN!! My last post It ended with Jaden on the toilet (hopefully going #2) Well it didn't happen I put him on the toilet all day and he couldn't go (he was constipated) So the next day Jaden wasn't feeling good at all his stomach hurt and he didn't want to eat anything and he had like 3 naps. So i knew that something wasn't right with him he doesn't have naps anymore unless he's sick. So i knew we had to get his poop out so i was putting fiber in his milk all day and still he didn't go so then at like 3:30 that night i woke up and heard Brandon talking to Jaden so i went to see what was going on. And Jaden was on the toilet trying to poop. He's been constipated many times before but this was probably the worst that I have ever seen. It broke my heart that he was hurting so bad and i couldn't help him. so we had him on the toilet and then he would cry and say that he just wanted to go to bed. So finally we decided that we had to use a suppository. I put the first one in and he pushed it right out so then Brandon put the next one in and a few minutes later he got it out. So then I had to buy him a toy after going through all that and he did get it out in the toilet. so i went and got him this spiderman toy that he's been wanting. Well the next day i got home from work and Jaden thought i got him another toy. I told him he only got toys if he went poop in the toilet. Well Brandon gave in and took him to the store to get a toy but Jaden had to promise that he would go on the toilet. I really didn't think he would since he had a bad experience last time. But they got home and about 20 min later Jaden started yelling "I have to poop, I have to poop" so we ran him in and he went with no problem. I was so proud of him but I still was thinking "don't get your hopes up" but he went again today so I think he's finally getting the hang of it. I'm so proud of him I was so worried that he was going to have to go to school in a pull-up. Way to go Jaden! I'm also very proud of Brandon. He's been going through the biggest challenge of his life. Its been 2 months ago today that he had his snowboarding accident. The accident that saved his life. His accident made him realize that life's to short. And that he didn't want to keep living his life the way that he was. He's struggled with Alcohol and drugs since he was 12 or 13. So for the last 19 years Alcohol and drugs were his life. Well i could go on and on But I'm So proud of him I know that it hasn't been easy. But I know that he can do it. Well i have to go so HOORAY for JADEN and BRANDON. WE LOVE YOU
