Nate update
Nate is fine – and he is being transferred to Sick Kids either this afternoon or tomorrow. We are
just waiting for a free room down there.
All tests have come back and show distension without rupture (great news didn't expect different,
though – but nice to hear) and the infection may just be a head cold and not worthy of antibiotics.
We have been told that Nate is being transferred directly to the surgery ward instead of just
pediatrics which means that things will happen really quickly once we get him there. Planned
biopsy of the large intestine to confirm Hirschsprung's disease and to determine the extent of
nerveless intestine. Once that has been done – he will be slated for surgery to remove the
affected section.
I will keep you posted as I know more.
Thanks for your prayers.
Rob.
