Matthew had his follow-up with the pediatrician today.  She was perplexed as to why he is still continuing to have stomach pain for 25 days now.  We gave her a full run down of all that has happened since we last saw her two weeks ago.  She ordered a 3rd KUB to check the status of the constipation.  As luck would have it while we were there he had to urinate and passed another teeny tiny sized crystal like substance.  We were able to collect it and she sent it to the lab for analysis. It was very tiny and did not cause any pain coming out.  The KUB showed that there is still some amount of constipation.  Her suggestion is that we do a complete cleanse of his bowels and make sure this has absolutely nothing to do with the pain.  Needless to say it has been a "fun" evening.  Poor little guy can't catch a break. 

His pediatrician's office is also making the change to electronic medical records.  The whole process from the patient side was relatively painless.  We are fortunate in the sense that waiting at healthcare facilities is something we are used to and don't get excited if it's been 30 minutes and we haven't been called.  All in all it seems as though the entire office is learning the new system eagerly and patiently.  In the end it will be much better for them and the patient.
