Hi everyone, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tammy and I am Lacey's friend and also Bella's Aunt. It's nice to finally meet everyone I feel like I already know you all from the wonderful things Lacey has told me about everyone. I was speaking with Jim yesterday about Bella's condition and told him I would gladly post some photos of Lacey and Bella and keep everyone updated on how they are doing.



For those of you that don't know whats been going on I will start from the beginning.

About 6 days ago Lacey had to rush Bella to Salisbury hospital she was vommitting blood.

The doctors ran several tests and sent them home, later the doctor called to check on Bella and asked a few questions. From the questions he asked he felt the need to admit her for more tests. They went back to the hospital and ran more tests, they found that she had blood in her stools as well. They did a upper gi and blood work to. They have diagnosed her with several reflux which can be treated with medication. After 2 days in Salisbury they transported them by ambulance to Johns Hopkins. She has been there for the past 4 days and they have ran many tests including the scope down her throat. They noticed the lining of her stomach had several spots on it and also where her stomach and esophogus meet isn't the way it should be. Its loose which could be the cause of her reflux. She has been hooked up to iv's, a cath, and something to monitor her heart I believe. She has a heart mumor
