Update 4/30 12:15pm

Good news--the doctors just came in and informed Gary and Debbie that the procedure to remove the air from Dylan's colon was successful. The tube insertion went very well and didn't aggravate any additional bleeding. This is an answer to prayer. In fact, the doctors were even able to leave the tube in his colon in case future air removal is needed.

The cause of the pressure buildup, they suspect, is normal bacteria in the colon that produce air, which Dylan isn't able to expel b/c his bowels are not working properly. Doctors are trying to figure out now why Dylan's bowels are not operating as they should. Pray for wisdom as they attempt this diagnosis. Dylan is sedated for now and resting in his room.
