***********************************
It has been a week since we began the dilation process for my son’s imperforate anus repair. I was not ready when we began the process and quite honestly after a week of twice a day dilations so far I still am struggling with this process. Of all the things we have had to learn to do for his care and well-being this is by far the most difficult almost to the point of having to force myself to go through it. Of course the brave face goes on as you do what you have to do that is best for your child. I just honestly had hoped it might get easier after this week especially since this will continue for the next 9-12 months. One person must pull and hold his knees to his chest while the second person insert the dilating instrument twice for 30 seconds each. This is done twice a day as I mentioned earlier. Maybe one day this will be an easier process, I’ll let you know, but don’t hold your breath!
Thanks for reading my point of view,
