Primary Children's

The day after Skyleigh was born they realized something was wrong. She was throwing up a lot and had only passed a very little amount of stool. They thought that she had some kind of blockage and ordered some x-rays to find out. After doing them they found out that she had something else majorly wrong and took her away to primary children's hospital. They found out she has an inperforate anus. What that basically means is that she does not have an actual bum hole to go to the bathroom. They had also found a little hole in her heart and a few vertebrae in her lower back are disfigured. So, to fix the bum problem for now she got a colostomy bag surgery at two days old. The hole in her heart fixed itself. Then the lower back stuff is just kind of a waiting game. They said worse case is that she could be paralyzed or have some type of nerve damage. They also said that it can just work itself out and she could be just fine. But until then she is stuck in the nicu at Primary Children's until she can get bigger and start growing.
