Bo was born on 6/3/07 with the rare congenital disorder currently known as Microvillous (Microvillus) Inclusion Disease. It took 2 hospitals and 5 weeks to diagnose. He became the 61st baby in the US to receive Omegaven. His nutrition is 100% TPN/Omegaven. We believe there will be a cure for this in our lifetime, and that a transplant is NOT the best option for this disease. This is our story.

Miss Smarty Pants, To You
So the cultures from Bo's site grew Pseudomonas. This is a waterbourne bacteria. And its presence there tells me that the press 'n seal without a dressing change after a bath is not enough. We will try the biopatch and the press 'n seal, but if he gets or sustains a site infection, we may have to get more strict with out bathing procedures.
