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.

Out of the Hospital

The second week and third week of September showed good signs on the level of lymphatic fluid on Wacky's drain. On September 21, his drain is finally removed. By September 23, he is discharged from the hospital ward and is now staying in the dorm. If all goes well, the family is set to come home in the first or second week of October. 

Added to the good news was having Rafael, Wacky's "kuya", visit them for a week with his Mama Lenie (Caress' mother) after being separated from his family for more than 5 months.




Thank you for all your prayers! We are all looking forward to having Wacky reunited with the rest of the family. =)
