UPDATE
The doctors have confirmed that it is Hirschsprungs Disease. We are going to go see him on Thursday and then on Friday he is going in for the Colostomy Surgery. Rhonda will be in the air flying back home and Arthur and I will stay in Thessaloniki untill after the operation. We are still unsure of when he will be coming home but put in your prayers that it will be soon.My dad found an easy to read website that talks about Hirschsprungs Disease .

Fashion Statement
I did the Greek Fashionable thing, I had a C-section. Anyone who knows me would know that I am not at all into being in fashion, but it was a quick minute decision. The doctors said I was in the stages of pre-eclampsia and it was getting very dangerous for me and the baby, although I wasn't in any labor pain I did have pain in my upper back and the baby was showing signs of being stressed. So the team was called in ( I had both maternity doctors with me) and a little after midnight in the early morning of January 29, 2008 Nik was delivered while I was out cold. The reason I said it was the fashionable thing to do was that everyone Arthur knows has done it. In fact in my room we had 6 women come through, 2 regular labors and 4 C-Sections, out of 6 women 2 of us had our babies taken to bigger hospitals. A C-Section in Greece is almost like fake boobs in California 2 out of every 3 women has it done.
