Gastroschisis

My sister had her first baby Aug 1. He was born with gastroschisis and finally got to go home Oct 1. He had a blood clot while in the hospital but it went away, he caught respiratory MRSA while on a ventilator which they decided not to treat, and they put him on rantidine, ursodol, iron, and vitamins which he is still currently on.

Tuesday he started having really black stools, dr thought it was due to the iron supplement so they lowered his dose and sent him bavk home. Now it’s Saturday, his stool is still black and now my sister is bringing him in because the blood clot looks like it came back.

Do you guys have any experience with the iron/stool or the blood clots…maybe what treatment worked best?

i’m going to share this site with my sister, but if any mommies with gastroschisis want to email her with  info or encouragement - my sister’s name is Alli and her email address is (well she has two, but i think she uses the first one tho) -

thanks for any info you have! <3
