Baby Liam and his cousin Piper on July 27th at Danny and Rachel's home.
Rachel's blog has been hijacked again. This time by Rachel's sister, Jill.
We wanted to give everyone an update on Baby Liam.
He was sent to Primary Children's hospital last Wednesday after he was sent home and still had low blood sugars. After some more testing at Primary's, they have found that there are more tests that need to be run to determine just what is going on. These tests can only be done at three different hospitals in the United States. Primary Children's has worked with doctors at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia so that is where Liam, Danny and Rachel will be going.
Liam has a Picc line which is giving him fluids and medication to regulate his sugars. Due to this, he will be medically transferred.
The tests that will be run will determine what is going on inside the pancreas. There are cells inside the pancreas producing excess insulin. The test will see if the cells are localized to one spot or if they are spread throughout the pancreas. Either way will result in surgery whether it is to remove the centralized cells or to remove most of the pancreas.
Rachel and Danny's spirits are high and they are very confident in their doctors. The girls are being taken care of by both sets of parents and are doing great. Your prayers and love are very appreciated.
