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.

Back to the ward again


Wacky lost weight due to lack of appetite (this was later found out to be because of electrolite imbalance) after he moved in to the dormitory. As a result he was admitted again to the hospital ward today. He'll be under observation by the doctors for a week.

Please continue praying for his health. Thank you!

From the Ward to Dormitory


Three months after the liver transplant operation, Wacky is finally moved from the hospital ward to the dormitory last July 23 to continue his recovery. Lymphatic drainage ball is still attached to his body since he is still producing considerable amount of lymph fluid -- an indication the his lymphatic system is yet to heal completely.  His doctor advised the family to be patient as the healing process may take time. 

Please pray with us for Wacky's complete recovery. Thank you!
