Hi all! We are just over two weeks away from Malcolm's third surgery! I have had some questions about his condition, his surgeries, and what his future may look like, so I thought I might answer some of those questions over the next two weeks.
What is his condition?
An Imperforate a**s (IA) is basically where the re**um does not form correctly in utero. In his case, it attached itself to his bladder. There are so many other conditions that can corelate with IA, which is why we believe he has only one kidney as well. We are lucky he has such few conditions as heart, bone, eating, and other digestive issues are very common to happen as well. There are so many different forms of IA that every case is really unique and different solutions may happen for different families. This is a life long condition, though we will not know the extent of his control/lack of control of any part of his re**um until close to potty training age.
More information later this week!
Shirts will be available until May 24th so orders your while the design lasts!💕
