Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Posted: 03-11-06 10:26am

Does anyone have any info on this condition - my son dylan is a 28 weeker who has been through a lot, first an intraventricular hemmorhage and now this condition. He is having surgery for it now and I have been told to "pass the time." all I have been told is it is very life threatening and dil's case is a very bad one. No-one will tell me anymore about it. I thought I would try and research it. I feel left out of the loop and scared can someone help me?

Thanks, carrie
