Shortly after noon on Saturday, August 4th 2007, we (my wife Christa, our two kids and myself) headed out to run some errands. Not even 10 minutes later, the scariest event in my life began to unfold. This blog is the journal of my son's fight with the birth defect known as Intestinal Malrotation and the condition it can cause named Volvulus. Although the primary goal of these writings are to communicate the state of Nathan's recovery to his family and friends, I hope that others who are unfamiliar with this defect (as I was) will be better prepared to identify and react to the symptoms it presents.

Dear Christa and Jason,
I know this has been a horrific ordeal for all of you! Can't imagine the fears, frustations, complications to your lifestyle, the list goes on and on. I do have to tell you, however, that the pictures of Nathan make my heart sing-especially the one with the big grin! He's a trooper, and he gets that tenacity and strength from BOTH OF YOU! Keep up the great work, have sent all the prayer chains the potential going home update from Linda-we all pray it's a good date!
Love,
Aunt Barb
