Glendale tot with rare condition awaits intestine, liver transplant

I tried to link the article but it is at the Arizona Repugnant and due to copyright complaints apparently we cant directly post their articles...

This article is about my Grandson Jaxson...
I had a prayer request thread Here
about 2 months ago, when the doctors told us he might be in the hospital until a donor was found... Since then, things have happened in almost a miraculous fashion for those of us who understand the power or prayer.

No major progress has been made on an actual donor, but soon after, they made a big change by his Dr. ordering nothing by mouth and they pulled his feeding tube, using strictly the TPN since then. He has gained about 8 pounds in a couple months now after nothing for months because of all the complications... Due to I assume, short bowel and not being able to process what he was taking in. He is back at home and going to preschool again and back to somewhat normal life for him, even finally started walking since getting out last time.

About the same time his Dr. mentioned something about Jaxson in some social situation to somebody connected to the Republic and the next visit he asked my daughter if she would be interested in doing an interview to make people aware of gastroschisis in general and highlight Jaxson's situation too with the huge need for people to become organ donors, not just adults but children that are taken far too early too, in auto accidents etc. it is one way for a bad situation to have a possible positive end.

Yeah, his half sister, that is Paislee, she just turned 4 mos. Her father is Katie’s fiance who is only father Jaxson has known, a great guy that treats him as his own. Jaxson’s loser dad bailed when she found out she was pregnant.

Cute kids. I’m glad your daughter’s fiance is a good guy with your grandson, especially with his special needs. I hope everything works out with his medical problems, please keep us informed.
