It’s so heartbreaking to see a baby sick

[@meganmoore3413]

It’s funny - they’ve made me suffer so ditto to them 🖕🏻

[@rosemarieangeles1966]

I could listen to that cry all day long ❤

[@laurenmeyers8996]

Sweet baby, I know it’s hard surgeries are not a fun thing to do even when we have to some times!

Here in Canada this baby would have recieved a general anesthetic. They operate directly after birth if need be here.

[@5p674]

I've never before seen major surgery performed on a baby or adult without general anesthesia.

[@rekt1123]

its because newborns have a much higher chance of simply never waking up if placed under general. its incredibly risky.

May YAHweh bless and keep you and your family, Sweet Baby. And give you His Peace. And fortitude for your mama to take care of you. May you grow from strength to strength. ❣❣❣❣

Gastroschisis is when the bowel is outside of its usual place, actually outside. I instantly recognised the "exposed bowel" part when it was shown.

My little brother had a surgery when he was a month old 😔

[@danecagrafia5774]

This Called Gastroschisis same case to my Baby but sad to say He passed away after the surgery 💔😭

[@jx14aby]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I assume it was a birth defect, is that correct? I'm right now investigating an infant who died two months after an exploratory laparotomy.

[@ChristineFisher123]

Is that little flower better now?🌷

[@maryskinner1329]

someone made the comment he passed away after surgery

[@turhandereli737]

How is Jaxon right now?

[@laurenmeyers8996]

Surgeries are not fun, poor baby!

Always check the ears - if unnormal, then special needs.
