Taylor

Update on cousin, Taylor. (Jennifer & Shane's son) He is out of Primary Children's Hospital now and home. He has a condition called ulcerative colitis. What a blessing that they were FINALLY able to pin it down. He has suffered for the last 3 years with this, but the doctors weren't able to diagnosis it properly as he was so young and his symptoms weren't so advanced. Now it has a name and a treatment. It will be a process, but they are sure he will most likely be able to live a full, fine life. Interesting note though, when Shane was growing up he apparently had the same thing and so did some of his brothers, but it never got so advanced, then went into a remission and resurfaced later as adults. Also, the disease hadn't been given a 'name', and the thought was that it was food poisoning and that some people were more susceptible to it.

Technology and medical advances are a great thing!

Taylor and family are very grateful for all our thoughts, prayers, and phone calls.
