I need continued prayers for my sweet nephew Bradley please. I have told you his story about being diagnosed with Eosinophylic Esophagitis (EoE) and he received some heart breaking news yesterday. Next month, he'll have surgery to put in place a feeding tube where he will be fed a special formula directly to his stomach from now on. Food is too painful on his esophagus. He will not be allowed to eat food for a very long time (possibly several years)... if they can get it under control, he may be allowed 1 or 2 foods by mouth (most likely rice or something like that).
When you sit down to eat a snack or a meal today---- Remember to pray to God and thank Him for your food... and also remember to thank God for a body that allows you to eat it. Never take one single bite for granted.
Eosinopohylic Esophagitis ~ Hard to say, even harder to live with.
Yesterday, Bradley sat on the beach and cried. Instead of playing, he mourned his loss of food. He is 7 years old, will be 8 just before the surgery. Pray for his heart to heal - he needs healing both physically and emotionally. My heart is broken for my B-rad. Sweet baby boy, if Aunt Stephy could take your place, I would in a heartbeat.
Here is his mother's blog about yesterday's doctor visit:
