Chin's e-mail from this week was a little confusing, so I'll try to sum it up in my own words. Christian was diagnosed with Ulceractive Colitis which is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects the large intestine (colon) and rectum. I'm not sure quite what to think of that, haha! His dosage of medication has been upped since last time he went to the doctor and it isn't helping, so they will most likely send him home in the next couple of weeks or so.
The day that he wrote us the e-mail he said that President Monson was coming to do a devotional at the MTC. I'm sure we'll hear about that soon. It sounds like Chin has been hanging out with this other missionary that has been there 14 weeks because of hypoglycemia. Poor kids, do they really need to be hanging at the MTC that long? haha!
Thats about all he said, his e-mails aren't very long. I think he is using his e-mail time for something else.
If they send him home, will they be able to fix him and will he be able to go back? That is a major bummer! I hope he gets better!
