What is biliary atresia? Biliary atresia is a rare condition in newborn infants in which the common bile duct between the liver and the small intestine is blocked or absent. If unrecognized, the condition leads to liver failure. The cause of the condition is unknown. The only effective treatments are certain surgeries such as the kasai procedure, or liver transplantation.

fast recovery

In the span of 19 days after the liver transplant operation, Wacky is showing good signs of health and the progress in his recovery is incredible. The tube on his body was removed last April 28, and they let him sit upright by April 30. They also began feeding him solid food. Wacky is interacting well with the nurses, eating & playing with them.
