Subject: Open Mike's grandson: bowel obstruction
I got a call from my daughter from the Emergency Room last night. Her son was admitted to the hospital over night for observation The youngster (2 1/2) was experiencing abdominal pain and it was possibly diagnosed as telescoping or folding or twisting intestines. Any one have experience with this? This is described as intussusception http://www.healthline.com/galecontent/intussusception http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/930708-overview
I hope the little guy does not need surgery. Apparently this is more common in boys than girls. Please send best wishes!
