Pyloric Stenosis

Pyloric stenosis is a narrowing of the pylorus. When a baby has pyloric stenosis, this narrowing of the pyloric channel prevents food from emptying out of the stomach.

Normally, a muscular valve (pylorus) between the stomach and small intestine holds food in the stomach until it is ready for the next stage in the digestive process. In pyloric stenosis, the pylorus muscles thicken and become abnormally large, blocking food from reaching the small intestine. Pyloric stenosis can lead to forceful vomiting, dehydration, and weight loss. Babies with pyloric stenosis may seem to be hungry all the time. In my daughter’s case, to do the diagnosis was very hard because it is a sickness that runs in the families and it is usually the first male born that gets it. But here it happened to my girl, and she was my second born.

One day I heard one of the specialists talking and explaining to his younger colleague that it could have happened because of some chemical that mother was exposed to during pregnancy, and a sense of guilt took over me. At the time, I was a clean freak and would use any chemical to keep the house and clothing clean.

During my stay in the hospital, I’d seen a lot of suffering, but I also got a chance to see how the suffering brings the families closer together. I cannot remember what the baby next to mine was suffering from, but I still remember that the mum said they were in and out of the hospital for nine months. Every morning she would get up and do her hair and makeup and her husband was there; he did not miss a day to come and give them a kiss on his way to work for the duration of those nine months.

I’ll never forget the day doctors told me that the next morning my baby will be at their hands at the operation theatre. On that very evening, I was sitting by myself at the tearoom and the couple at the table next to mine was hugging and comforting each other. I was 27 years of age at that time and I would not have guessed either of them to be more than 22. One young father would drive for four hours from his home in the countryside to visit his family, and he did that every second day. Four hours each direction just to give comfort to his wife and kiss their little angel’s forehead. Can you imagine the feeling of being unwanted, not being loved? I knew it at that moment. I needed my mother, my family...a husband ...somebody by my side, and there was nobody.

After a couple of weeks of emotional and physical suffering, the time finally came for the two of us to be released and the suffering to surrender to happiness. We were finally free to go home to our big sister who was waiting impatiently for the two of us.

It was time for me to accept this little creature without any reservations and time to put an end to all of our suffering.
