hi, my daughter has had colostomys and is now on a bowel management
program
we are going to go ahead with a secostomy after thanksgiving sometime
and then
if we don't like it we will have it changed to the apenicostomy, when
she gets
her bladder inlarged and a matrofinoff put in in a couple of years. shes
only three, and we have great doctors at seattle childrens hospital as
well as where we live. have you been able to get ahold of dr. pinna?
you can look him
up in the pull through network.
good luck!!
