Lauren Update

I talked to Lauren's pediatrician at church yesterday and he is going to write up a referral for her to see a gastroenterologist to have the scope done. He was saying that it's probably a rectal prolapse from her straining when she poops. Thankfully she doesn't have it as bad as some kids. The doctor was telling me that the daughter of a friend of theirs has the same problem, but hers was as big as a plumb. Lauren's isn't that big and I don't want it to get that big. He also told us to go back to using the mineral oil to lubricate her intestines. We should be getting the referral next week, so hopefully it won't take too long to get her an appointment. We appreciate all of your prayers and hopefully we can get this resolved.
