Tony's journey

In July of 2009 we found out our son had Hirschsprung's disease.  He had it all his life but was misdiagnosed.  We thank god for Dr Harmond.  He found it and started treating Tony.  We had a up hill battle though.  We had a pull thru done, but was told chances of success was 50/50 as the diagnosis had taken so long.  He had a colostomy for 6 months befor the pull thru as his intestines where so stretched out.  He had to have a cecostomy done because the pull through did not work.  He is now 15 and has days where he still has accidents despite the flushing.
