Amanda Vollmer - 6 weeks old

Peggy, I asked Susan Vollmer if it was okay to send this to you. Amanda is only six weeks old. Can you please add this to the prayer blog? We have all seen with Gabe what the power of pray can do! Thanks. Michelle Drury (Rachel's mom from Justin's Pre-K class)

Amanda has been making funny "squeaking" noises since birth. She started having a few other symptoms, so we took her to the doctor this afternoon. The doctor was very concerned about what he heard. He believed that it was either a lung problem or an upper airway problem. He sent us directly to have chest x-rays, which ruled out a lung problem. He set us up for Amanda to have a Barium test first thing tomorrow morning. After they get the results from that we will either see a specialist tomorrow afternoon or first thing next week, or we will be referred to Rileys Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. There are basically 4 things it may be. The best case scenario is soft cartilage that will correct itself in time. With that she will eventually outgrow the problem. The other three will require surgery and a stay at Rileys Hospital. Keep us in your prayers and I will keep you posted.Susan
