My baby is 18 weeks old and he has Billiary Atersia he was born without a gall bladder or bile ducts they did his first major surgery on the 2 nd Feb 2012 called a Kasai i would really like to get in touch with some other parents and so far im finding it hard and so lonely knowing anyone with this condition. He will eventually need a liver Transplant

Hey, my baby doesn't have billiary atersia and I don't know anyone who does. I hope you find some support out there, parenting a healthy baby can be hard and lonely enough without extra serious complications as your little one. I came across this forum with parents with children with what your bubs has, although its american it might be good just to talk to others who understand what you are going through too. Where abouts in the country are you in?

How did the op go?
My daughter (3m old one) has something wrong with her liver, they have ruled out BA though, but have just been up to starship our our 2nd biopsy (which is being sent to london )
I found this FB group helpful https://www.facebook.com/groups/158326670869599/ check them out, they are a BA/liver transplant page. At the moment it looks like our daughter may need a transplant in the future but not any time soon (if she continues to go the way she is now)
Its so hard to spend so much time away from your other kids isnt it? And living out of a suitcase sucks! We are lucky that we have only spent about a month in hosp, but i always have a bag packed just in case!

Hi Guest_74646
How are you and your son doing?
We had the Kasai prcedure at 5 weeks old and then transplant at 5 months, our daughter is now seven months old and doing well so far. We have had some set back however are making steady progress.
We are you at in the process? I do see that things started earlier in the year for you but do know that these wee ones all take it at a different pace. We are in Auckland...
