My 26 year old daughter had surgery to repair scar tissue from having had gastroskisis at birth. Full term baby and when born hospital/docs. did a wonderful job with her - wisking her away to Denver Children's Hospital. Her intestines were completely outside of her stomach. Dr. Bailey put the intestines in place and she had a 3 week stay in ICU and 2 more in another room. 4 months later, after the swelling subsided- Dr. Bailey opened her and "put things in proper (1 week in hosp). My point is, during the last several years she has had horrible pains that no one could explain - Until her ER visit two days ago, less than 24 hrs. later, surgery was done - very complicated, intestines everywhere, lots of scaring, appendix high on the right. Be aware of future complications - pain from scaring. Get faster help. My daughter will be FINE, I am sure - all her life she never skipped a beat walking, talking on time. Gymnastics, golf, piano and she has a 6 years old son

A friends mother was born tha way back in about 1920. They figured she'd die so they just crammed everything back inside and sewed it closed. Four kids later all adults now, the doctors told her she had masive cancer. Finnally someone remember her birth. Every piece of cancer was just an organ in the wong place. NO cancer.
