Warrick's Battle with Gastroschisis

This is a true story of a little boy with Gastroschisis, a serious birth defect. Warrick is now almost four and has very little effects due to the birth defect. We are battling a new challenge in Autism, but he will continue to be our miracle through it all. (2011)

I know very well the battle with this disease. I had two sons born with it. My first in 1981 and second in 1984. I wish I had videos to show the miracles I have seen in these two sons of mine. I need to sit down and write the stories as I have intended to do for years. God Bless and keep you and baby

Ur son is my my prayers. I, too, had a son born with gastroschesis. We were in the nicu for 2 and a half months and he finally got to come home, but b4 he got to come home he had a partial bowel obstruction which was a real scare. I wish u and ur family well. alexandra, st louis missouri

My son was born with gastroschisis in 2007. Fortunately, our miraculous pediatric surgeon at UVA was able to put in all of his intestines after he was born. We were shocked, for we were sure he was going to need a silo. He was in the NICU for three weeks and then was able to come home. He had another surgery at 4 months for a hernia but other than that, he is perfectly healthy now. His weight and height are in the 95-98 percentile and he is developing normally. God Bless you and your family!
