Babies Going Under the Knife Posted: 11-28-06 13:53pm
My baby is going in for surgery next month
and i'm torn into so many parts.My first
is is she going to be okay 2nd what is the
% rate of her recovery .I'll tell you she
is a miracle.She has over came everything
that the doc. Said would happen. She was
a twin but the other one was in my tube so
the gave me a high doise of methotrixate
(kemo) to save my life .But two weeks
later my hormon level went back up.They
wanted me to take another doise I said not
untile they did an ultra sound and they
found her in my whoom and she was 7weeks
along but measuing 6 so one week behind.
They only had info on getting pregant
while on this drug. Told me the baby
chance of making it were slim to 13 week
mark.Well she made it to 13 weeks but
still measures 12 so we kept going my
husband wanted a child and also and we've
been trying for 2yrs 8mths before this so
by this time I wanted a baby soo bad I
cryed every month when I would start.So I
gave her the fighting chance to be born no
matter what .We had all hope's that
everything would be okay.But at 20 weeks
ultra sound showed she had only two blood
vessels going to her and they said that
she had a chance of having a hole in her
heart or liver damage or kidney,or lower
damages.Well we made it to her birth and
she weighs 6lbs 2oz 17in and just as
pretty as can be 10 fingers 10 toes but
she was born with a imperforated anus
(fistula)means her poo goes out her birth
conel threw a little hole.Now she is
almost 3mths old and now were looking at
anoplasty surgery and a colostomy bag for
3 mths another surgery to remove the bag
latter.

I don't know much about this surgery, but
I do know another little boy that had to
have an anoplasty and he was fine. I
don't think there is much of a chance at
all of complications. I'm sure your
little girl will be fine!
