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.

One month after the operation

Wacky shows no more sign of jaudice (yellowish pigmentation of the skin and the white of his eyes). His doctors have also reduced the dosage of the cyclosporin (used with other medications to prevent transplant rejection ). He still has poor appetite with his alfare milk and as such, is given through the syringe. The tests performed on him gave positive results.

Thank you for your continued prayers! =)
