January 9, 2007 - Pray for answers...
Hello All!
Just a quick note asking for prayers for Erik. For the past week or so he has been irritable, not interested in eating, his belly has been distended (bloated), and he has seemed uncomfortable. We have taken some time to rule out digestive things as well as regular "bad days" but today decided to take him to our pediatrician. We ended up going in for an x-ray where it showed that his bowels are not functioning properly causing the bloating and discomfort. They basically are operating slower than they should.
In many cases, this is thought to generally occur immediately following surgery. Since Erik did not have surgery in the past few days, we are thinking this may be happening as a side effect to his medications. We did add a medication in November so we think this may be the cause.
He is being admitted to Duke for treatment and observation. Basically we will use this time to keep him monitored, hydrated, and comfortable while we try to determine the cause of all of this.
Please keep him and our family in your prayers . . .
Love in Christ,
Erik's Family
