    I really appreciated the summary of Bells staging. Thank you for going over not just fact regurgitation but truly taking the time to explain your thought process when you discussed this topic. I also really enjoyed the way you went over the history portion (i.e. things to look for when you're concerned about NEC) and the way you discussed the timeline of when an infant presents with sx and why you would be more concerned for SIP rather than NEC. Brava!

    My premiee baby has been diagnose of NEC. She went into surgery about two weeks ago. That created a stoma for her but her body never recognized the stoma but created a fistula for her waste. They decided to use that and started feeding. She was doing great with feeding and all her vitals were good. Today a mucus like fluid with dirty blood came out from her anus and they think it’s the dead intestines that came out. Want to know if it’s possible for the dead intestines to come out like that and still have healthy ones in they for surgery

    Oh Pamela- we are so sorry to hear about your baby. The intestine has many layers- so if the inner one 'dies' then that can be passed in the stool (a lot of normal stool is intestinal cells). We really hope she continues to heal- and you have the strength to get through this too. Sending love XX

    Hello! You make great comments. We're trying so hard here to bridge the line between the pathophysiology of a disease and clinically/ bedside helpful information. There's SO much to cover with NEC that at some point we had to stop. (Part 1 details a lot more about how the gut becomes sick). We hope you find the information you are looking for!
