My 15 year old niece is gorgeous

although I can't post a photo of her here without her parents permission.  Anyway, Imogen is a divine girl - the oldest of 3. She was born with a condition called Hirschsprung's Disease which involves the large and small intestine. Immediately - well almost immediately after her birth it was noticed that she did not pass her first stool. She was whisked away to another hospital for emergency surgery (this happened in Perth WA) and came away from that surgery with a colostomy bag which must be so so daunting for any parent let alone a first time parent. I mean, we ALL want the same thing for our children don't we? Good Health. My brother called today and left a message - Imogen is in hospital having an operation. Oh no! I think so I call the hospital and ask to speak to her. I get her on the line and she is very croaky. Had an op today to expand the scar tissue in her intestine where they joined the large intestine to the small intestine. Poor thing has been ill for over a month and hopefully this will be ok. It was nice to speak to her. Lots of love to you Imo!
