Liam's Diagnosis....

The surgeon called this morning around 10:00 with the news that Liam does indeed have Hirschsprungs Disease.  I can tell you that this was not the news we were hoping and praying for.  After two barium enemas and two biopsy's the results were clear....hirschsprungs!  We will be waiting to schedule his surgery until the end of July due to our family trip to Daufuskie Island and Fred's mission trip to Bolivia. 
The surgery will be done in either one part or two parts.  Depending on the size of Liam's colon when the surgeon goes in with a scope prior to the procedure being started - will determine whether it is done in one part (no colostomy bag) or two part (colostomy bag for 8 weeks).  He said to prepare for the two part to be done, but if he can do it in one surgery he will - but not at the risk of complications afterwards. 
So, for now I will turn my attention to my niece's, Olivia, upcoming surgery on Monday for a tethered cord (www.dawnandguyfisher.blogspot.com) and then enjoy the time with my family later next week as we leave for the beach. 
On another note, Morgan has been having a blast at horse camp the last two weeks.  She is helping out with the camps, not actually attending.  She went with her instructor to get a new pony this week named Mia.  I think Morgan is in love!  Mia seems to be very sweet, mild manured and loves attention - which Morgan loves to give her.  Of course, she doesn't want anyone else to ride her, but that is something she is going to have to get over.  After all, it is not Morgan's horse even though she says "Mia's hers".  Here are some pictures that Morgan has taken during camps this week at the barn!
I think she is a great photographer.








MIA!!!
