Please pray for Andrew

Andrew has an appointment with the GI specialist to check his bowels tomorrow morning. Finally. The pediatrician told me today that she suspects Hirshsprung Disease. I am devastated at this possibility, yet hopeful for his relief. This poor little man seems to hurt so much sometimes. It breaks my heart to look into his beautiful little face knowing something could be terribly wrong on the inside. In order to diagnose, he will likely have to have a barium enema and an intestinal biopsy. They can do the biolsy in the office. I do think we will have to wait for the results. If this is, indeed what he is suffering from, surgery will be required to correct the problem. I have included this link to help explain the disease and the treatment required. Please click here for that information.

I beg you all, friends and family, to pray for our son. Either way, whatever the diagnosis, pray for his relief and safe treatment. We of course are worried sick, we hope the best. What is the best? That they find nothing wrong with him? Then we have no explanation for his apparent pain and grief. That they find a curable disease that requires surgery? Then we will worry with the safe outcome. When you think about your little baby needing an actual surgical procedure, where his little body will be under anesthesia. It scares me so much.

I love you Andrew.
