A Common Medical Problem for Down Syndrome
Duodenal Atresia
Nolan had a Stomach surgery to fix his Duodenal atresia.
This is when the first part of the small intestines is either closed off or too narrow for food to pass
through. In order for the incision to work the doctors put a feeding tube through his nose and down
to his stomach. Now some feeding tubes go directly into the side of there stomach, fortunately that
wasn't our case. After the incision is well enough for food to pass through the tube comes out and
normal feeding begins.
