Update on Luke!

Update on Luke. Luke had a Drs appointment on Monday! The drs want my sister to save his stool for a wk to see if he is getting the nutritiants that he is suppose to have...because he is melnourished..So from there they will see where they go..I think if he isnt getting the nutritiants they are going to put a pic line in him so my sister and brother in law can give him fluides that way.I will let you know more when I get more info..We are having a benefit for him on Feb 7th to raise money to offset the cost of medical treatment..like I have stated in my first blog..If anyone cares to donate anything that would be great..

My nephew Luke

My nephew Luke was born 5 wks early! He was born with stomach and intestinal malrotation meaning his stomach and intestines weren't connected to the abdomen wall,and has a result to that..his stomach did flip flops and his appendix ended up on the wrong side of his body..Though he was born with this problem, the Drs didn't find it until he was 4 months old Luke's malrotation caused him to have a sigmoid volvulus and a neruogentic bladder,making his bladder the size of an 8 yr old's bladder. His surgeries have included a gastopexy, blowel resection, colostomy and appendectomy..But to despite them, he continues to have poor motility in his intestines!! He will inevitably be back in the hospital! With 3 different Drs offering three different opinions. He will need one of two different surgeries in Buffalo or he may have to travel to a children's hospital in Boston! There is even talk of an intestinal transplant which will take them to pittsburgh.

So we are throwing him a spaghetti dinner benefit..To off set the medical and traveling expenses! If there is anyone that would love to help..You can email me! ameesheehan@windstream.net..
