Causes and Future...

Thank you for the great response on sharing about Tucker's experience last week. Thank you for the continued prayers.

Many of you have asked what caused this to happen to TMan. Well there are a few things that could have caused it, but not one was pin pointed.

1. Bad Luck-it could of happened randomly.

2. Respiratory-it can happen after a series of respiratory problems...Tucker did just have croup and an ear infection...so maybe from that.

3. Genetic-my biological father has intestinal problems. So it could be from that too.

4. Rotavirus Vaccine-(this is what the doctor at Scottish Rite believes it comes from most often) This vaccination is given to children before they are 6 months old. The older they are...4 and 6 months it can cause Intussusception before the age of 1. The doctor told us that this vaccation isn't really necessary because it only prevents a child from extreme vomiting and diarrhea.

Another question we've gotten is that could this happen again to Tucker. Yes, but since he's already had it, it would be less likely.

The one big advice we got while at Scottish Rite was for our future children not to get the Rotavirus vaccine. Because this has happened with one of our children is is VERY likely to happen to future children.

So, with all of that being said, we are very thankful that Tucker was able to recover from such a scary thing.

And as you can see in these pictures, our sweet boy is bouncing back!

Thank you again for all the prayers!
