My daughter underwent anoplasty surgery last June 23, 2019 due to imperforate anus. Ito ay inborn na kung saan walang anus o merong fistula (tunnel) na labasan ng poop ng baby na hindi sa dapat tamang location. In my daughter's case, wala sa tamang location ang fistula niya.
She suffered from constipation since nong mag-start na siya mag-take ng solid food nong turning 7 months na siya. Sabi ng pedia niya, ipa-tingin sa Pedia-surgeon for second opinion. Then ang findings meron talagang imperforate anus ang baby ko. So, the doctor told us to prepare everything within a month -- financially and most especially si baby. Altho it is heartbreaking in our part na malamang na kailangan ni baby maoperahan. Thinking she was only 8 months that time, we looked at it positively. Thanks God she didn't underwent colostomy. But her pedia said that we should assure that she will be given intensive perenial care to avoid infection.
We we never asked God why. Because we know despite all of these, God loves her so much than we do. God's love for her is beyond compare.
There might really be painful situations that come along... But we always have to be faithful with a thankful heart to God even if our hearts are in pain. God sees our hearts.
We know that we are only God's stewards of the gift of life in the image of our daughter. He owns our daughter.
Praise God! Our baby's operation went well. She is on her recovery stage for 3 weeks by now. Her pedia said the healing will take 4-6 weeks.
