My name is Frank Guertin and I wanted to post about the story of my son Frankie Jr. Our son was diagnosed with a rare condition called "Gastroschisis" which is an abnormality (defect or hole) in the abdominal wall that allows the child's intestine contents to protrude outside the body. We had such a unbelievable struggle and have come out with a beautiful boy who is doing so well... I made a small web site about his story and for parents who are going through the same thing. We have a posting boad where you can leave messages or comments. We also update it with videos and pictures on a daily basis. If you know any parents who have had been diagnosed with Gastroschisis, please pass this site on to them. God bless, Frank www.frankguertinjr.com

Parker, the handsome pound puppy! Group: Members Posts: 5,863 Member No.: 1,127 Joined: 30-December 04	Hi & welcome! Your little guy is adorable!! My friend has a son who was born with that condition as well. He's 23 now, suffered no long term effects. You'd never noticed anything different except that he doesn't have a belly button! I know it was so frightening at the time he was born, though! Good luck with your little one!! -------------------- Cheryl, Olivia's mom
