Thank you! What you did is exactly how I got him the Botox injection into the spincter muscle. I am hoping that this does for him what it did for others in all the research I came across. It’s too soon to tell right now but I am praying.

Hi @concernedmomof5yrold, I'd like to add my welcome. I added your question to the About Kids & Teens support group as well as the Digestive Health support group.

While not pediatric specific, you might also be interested in this related discussion:

@astaingegerdm might also have some tips to offer.

Concernedmom, it is so hard to see our children in pain and to feel helpless. It's near impossible to explain to a 4 year old that holding back so he doesn't poop only makes things worse. His reflex is to everything to avoid pain. I really hope the botox helps.

Are you able to get fluids into him to help keep the stool soft? Kids love watermelon, especially at this time of year. Might that help?
