Need a few more prayers please

DDIL got a call today from the doctors office about Rowdy's labs and he has a Biotinidase deficiency.This has something to do with the inability to absorb the B vitamin Biotin.It can be genetic so they have to see a specialist for that.This could also be something caused from his surgery,which is most likely since nobody on either side of the family has had it and both parents would have to be carriers for him to have it that way.The surgeon had told them that it was possible that the surgery could cause this when she did it so we are thinking that is probably the cause.Anyway,it can be pretty serious and cause some serious problems if not caught and treated early.We are a little upset that the labs were done over a month ago and showed the deficiency but they are just letting us know.

We would appreciate your prayers and positive thoughts for this little one.

I've added a link in case anyone wants to know exactly what it is.
