Landon was not feeling well and had symptoms of food poisoning. He went to urgent care and they thought he had appendicitis. They sent him to the ER and after tests, found his small intestine to be twisted. They did emergency surgery early the next morning and took out his small intestine to repair it, and they removed his appendix and cleaned out his large intestine. They found that Landon had a genetic condition called "Meckel's Diverticulum". They removed a portion of the small intestine and the Meckles diverticulum which was a trunk like piece growing in his intestines.
Twelve days after the first surgery, Landon had a second emergency surgery to clear another blockage and remove adhesions and scar tissue caused from the first surgery. Landon has had several complications and a very rough recovery thus far. He is walking out his healing day by day. Landon's intestines have to heal and part of this healing process demands Landon to be without solid food or liquids for up to six months. Landon is receiving his nutrition through IV's. Landon has spent the last five weeks in the hospital. He is hoping to go home soon and have home health care come in and take care of him for the remainder of his recovery.
Please keep Landon in your prayers daily. We know and serve a great big God and we are trusting him for a complete and total healing in Landon's body.
Landon's praise for today is that he was able to eat his first food since his surgery.....a strawberry Popsicle!!
Please feel free to leave Landon words of encouragement, scriptures, prayers and messages that will brighten his day.
Landon is a very special young man with many talents and a call of God on his life. Thank you for your prayers and concern.
May God bless you!

Hi Landon, my name is Glenda Griffith and we met Ronna and Bob in Hawaii a few years ago. We became friends and have kept in touch via the computer ever since.
My husband's name is Craig, and between us we have 5 children and 11 grandchildren. I attend Calvary Chapel in Southern California, and keep pretty busy with my grandkids and crafts. I love the items that Ronna sends to me, and have kept you in my prayers ever since we heard you were ill. May God Bless you! Glenda
