This is to Birdgirl,
I talked to my mom today and I was talking to her and asked her about her bowel movements and she told me it had been 12 days since she has had one. I was alarmed quite a bit. I asked if she was taking anything for it and she was kind of vague, I know she has Miralax there and I told he that she was prbably compacted and that she would probably need an enema and doctor care. I told her she should go to the hospital. Cause it was already late today. I called the hospital there but nobody is allowed to give any kind of information on whether you should go or not. I am now in Cali and she is in Ohio. What do you think she should do. My dad is willing to give the enema, but I don't think it would be safe for him to do it. Being inexperienced and all. I know mineral oil helps too.
