Amelia is now at home after having surgery early Sunday to correct the condition of Pyloric Stenosis. Following the surgery she had a three day stay at Children’s Health Care of Atlanta. Pyloric stenosis is a narrowing of the pylorus, the lower part of the stomach through which food and other stomach contents pass to enter the small intestine. When an infant has pyloric stenosis, the muscles in the pylorus have become enlarged to the point where food is prevented from emptying out of the stomach.
I had the same condition when I was an infant. She came through the twenty minute surgery well. We had to spend time in the hospital make sure she could take food in successfully after surgery. Hopefully we can return to normal, whatever normal is.
