Pearl Update

Well, scratch the previous post. They were giving Pearl medication, but it's not getting better. They are now going to perform a biopsy of the large intestine to rule out a disease known as Hirschsprung's Disease. Obviously, we're praying that Pearl doesn't have it. They're taking the biopsy today, but it will take about 1-2 weeks to get back the results.

Right now Pearl is being fed intravenously, so the doctors are also concerned about problems arising with her digestive system since it's not being used.

Please keep praying! Ryan is one of my best friends and I can only imagine what he and Jessica are going through. We're there supporting them as best we can! Thanks for your prayers.

I am the volunteer director of a support group for the families of children with disorders such as Hirschsprung's Disease. Please forward our information to your friends. We want to help any way we can. If they'd like I can give them a free membership so they can connect with other families who are dealing with similiar issues.

Sincerely,
