This is really amazing just to know that one day it will be possible to transplant a kid with there own stem cells. That might just be the day I would feel more comfortable transplanting Adriana if she needed it.

About Me
- Adriana's journey with short gut
- On March 6,2009 Adriana came into this world weighing in at 1pd 10oz 13 inch long. She was doing so well for being so small. No oxygen or any kind of help. At 2 weeks of life she got NEC, she had 2 surgeries and was diagnosed with short gut. She only has 45 cm of small and no large. She has been faced with many complications along this journey but together we will continue. Soon Adriana will be getting on omegaven and on her way to a much healthier life.
