Gastroschisis Baby That The Internal Organs are Outside of The Body  

Posted by jhay


At the first time you'll see this baby, you'll never think that there is something wrong with his body. You'll think that this cute baby is a normal baby boy that relives his mother's pain when he was given a birth. Yeah exactly, He relieve the pains. But My sister never know that his baby was suffering from gastroschisis wich known as, the baby with the intestinal organs are outside of the body. With the abnormal development of the fetus inside his mommies abdomen gastroschisis can possibly develop. Especially for those who's not having a good diet as a pregnant mother. At the picture below you can see the ultra sound of this young boy when he was not giving birth yet.
Many cases happened that same as this kind of abnormality in pregnancy. Once it is observed during pregnancy. It can't be cure . But the observation must be continue until at the time that the mother will deliver her baby. At this point, operation will be done. So the baby that suffering from this case must be operated to put his intestinal organs back as soon as he gave birth. Because once the internal organs get swell it will be hard for babies to make a single operation. And then doctors will wait until the baby gain some weight before the operation occur, it cant be force to put inside the intestine and other organs inside the baby's body while it is swelling. The intestines should be wet every time and must be covered with special plastic (colostomy bag) to keep the organs in its wetness.
The pictures shows that the baby (my nephew) was covering his intestine by a plastic (colostomy bag) with medicine to keep it wet.

Gastroschisis is a dangerous if forsook by his parents. So if somebody if a mother give birth. They must be careful with their babies if they want to keep it alive and to keep it in their touch. If the baby has a strong body they must must be hopeful for the baby. Pray and action is important in this kind of cases.

From now this baby is waiting for his next operation to get in his whole intestine to be inside. And live like a normal child as he grow up. But medication must be always present.
(Please pray for my nephew..)
