At this point, we aren't sure how much esophagus he has from the top down, but he has none from the stomach up. Wes will be having a scope done to determine the best strategy before surgery though. <BR/>StaciStaci and Damonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175919890240353941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662518795156586609.post-8837179559308781222009-01-21T22:13:00.000-05:002009-01-21T22:13:00.000-05:00Just wanted you to know that many babies born with...Just wanted you to know that many babies born with EA are not operated on until they are a few months old. Babies with esophagus-trachea connections do get operated on right away, because they can't survive like that. But kids with only a gap in the esophagus can wait a while. Nowadays, the preferred method is to pull the two ends of the esophagus together but sometimes (all the time not that long ago) doctors would use part of the colon to repair the esophagus. What is the plan for Wes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662518795156586609.post-73259185852350974632009-01-09T11:08:00.000-05:002009-01-09T11:08:00.000-05:00Staci, Thanks for the email.

I have a question, on FRUA there was some talk about ones medical insurance not covering this procedure for adopted children, did you run into this if so what did you do? We will ofcourse be getting our little guy the same surgery (when we get him) and am worried our insurance won't cover this procedure. You can leave me a message on my sight.Chris Havenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13256763246286872331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662518795156586609.post-24813643115073015892009-01-07T12:06:00.000-05:002009-01-07T12:06:00.000-05:00It always looked worse to me then how the boys see...It always looked worse to me then how the boys seemed to feel.
