From the Author:
Sarah Vargas Series; Book Three
Proceeds from this book will go to the MUSC Children's Hospital in Charleston, South Carolina. It is through their hard work and dedication that children can lead full, healthy lives.
In December 2008, my son was diagnosed with pyloric stenosis, a condition in which the muscle exiting the stomach closes and prevents nutrients from being absorbed by the body. What this meant was my son spent a good week and a half throwing up whatever he ate. He was constantly cranky and fussy, and honestly you would be too if you weren't able to keep any food down.
While pyloric stenosis is fatal if not treated, my husband and I were reassured over and over again by all the MUSC staff that the surgery would be a quick one and that we'd have a happy baby to bring home. At three weeks old my son underwent surgery to repair the closed muscle. He was admitted on a Wednesday and released on a Friday, the surgery taking place on a Thursday and lasting for only thirty minutes. True to their word, we had a very happy baby to bring home. The Sunday after his surgery we were blessed with his first smile.
At the time of this book's publication my son is two years old; happy and healthy thanks to the wonderful staff at MUSC Children's Hospital.
My son is just one of the hundreds of children that MUSC Children's Hospital helps each year. Learn more about them at musckids.com.
