Megan's 24 hour Medication Schedule...

Megan was 3 1/2 years old at the time she was diagnosed. It took many hospital emergency visits and 3 pediatricians later before severe dehydration put her at DeVos Children's Hospital. After a few weeks, Megan was transported by ambulance to Mott Children's Hospital at the University of Michigan where a final diagnosis was made. This diagnosis drastically changed the dynamics of the Morrill household. Since then, Megan has been getting proper treatment via a G-Tube and hourly eyedrops and medications while awake and asleep. She is at end stage kidney failure. Family members are being tested for a possible living kidney donor. Dr Timothy Bunchman and his team at DeVos Children's Hospital have been expertly managing Megan's care. They are like a second family to the Morrills.
