gwen Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 When i saw that only 2% have this I immediatly thought Meckels! why? My son had it at age ten. the drs thought it was flu, then dehydration, then appendix, then on naso-gastrc tube. finally they did surgery and the dr. came out smiling and shaking his head. (he had taken a shine to stu) he said it is so uncommen most dr's never see it and the 2% percent included post-mortems!! they took out his appendix just to stave off any future problem from that. you have the start from birth and it contines to grow and usually wrap around part of the intestines eventuallychoking it. my son son (who otherwise never got sick) was in hospital for another week. some how the surgical site got infected (bowel surgery is never completely sterile. he ran into a problem but that doesn't mean melissa will. the dr also saidhe never expected to see another one in his practice, and had a high mortality rate because of not being diagnosed before sepis sends in.I don't want to sound too optimistic in case i jinx something but I really feel this is a very positive thing if it doesn't mess with her pots too bad.:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
