Our friends, Gretchen and Nick, had a little boy in November. Sam has had trouble out the gate with eating, acid reflux, and food allergies. There's a whole series of medical words that are related to what is causing this, I just don't know them all. Sam is so uncomfortable, that he can't eat or sleep, and he screams almost all day long. To quote Gretchen, "he writhes in pain".
Needless to say, Sam *might* be having surgery this week at Rainbows Babies & Children's Hospital in Cleveland. This is a huge decision that they will make as parents, as the surgery has never been done on an infant before. This surgery is highly recommended. They are in the right hands. They live in the right city. They've taken him to every specialist under the sun, and this seems to be the best recommendation. Sam needs to be able to eat, and sleep so he can flourish.
So I ask all of you to please say a prayer for Sam, Gretchen and Nick. They need the extra strength to get through this trying situation. No little 3 1/2 month old baby should have to endure such discomfort.
With Love,
Susie
