Our son has developed some gastrointestinal problems and we’ve spent quite a bit of time at the Children’s hospital over the last few months. He had a colonoscopy two days before Thanksgiving and they found some inflammation / irritation in various places. At this point, it’s unclear what that means and we’re waiting on some tests/biopsies to come back. The best case is that he has nothing at all, and the worst case is that this he has a chronic condition. I think there is a 50/50 chance of either at this point.

I’ve taken the business with our son pretty hard because I understand what it’s like to live with a chronic condition -- I’m hopeful that he doesn’t have to do the same at the age of 3.
