Translation

In addition to sleep problems, Miranda has poop problems. Essentially every time she goes poop whether that be in her diaper, on the floor, or in the potty, she screams bloody murder. Sometimes nothing comes out, sometimes a tiny poop comes out and sometimes a giant massive unbelievable poop comes out. She's been on medication for this for just over a year without any lasting improvements.

Today was one of the days when in the course of about 2 hours, she had tiny poops about 6 times. Each time, I took her to the potty when I saw the pain about to start, nothing comes out and then she stands up with a tiny poop stuck in her butt. I wipe it off, pull up her pants and she goes back to whatever it is she was doing. 10 minutes later, this happens all over again. And again. And again. It's exhausting and incredibly hard to watch as it seems that she is in so much pain.

Today, after one of her episodes, she was sitting on the potty saying something over and over. I had no idea what it was. It was incomprehensible. Then Parker came into the bathroom. I said, "Parker, what is she saying?" He said, without thinking at all, "She says she doesn't get a lolly pop." After Miranda confirmed that was correct, I said, "Yup, no lolly pop."
