The Red Thread

Once our eyes have been opened we can't pretend that
we don't know what to do; for God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls
knows that we know and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs
24:12

Owen Is Admitted To Hospital

We will follow up with more details later but wanted to let everyone know that Owen was taken to the emergency room last night becuase he was "vomitting and gagging" for an extended period of time.  This was nothing like we have seen in the past and we knew something was wrong.

They quickly determined he was getting oxygen so the immediate scare was subdued.  After a few hours in the emergency room he finally vomitted and then began to get back to normal (for him).  The doctor decided to keep him overnight and have the GI team look at him today.

Melissa just called and they are preparing him for surgery.  He has a hole in his esophagus and food is going into his lungs.  During the surgery they will also be able to see if there are other issues as well. 


We will update you as soon as possible.
