About this campaign
About 2 - 5 in every 10,000 babies are affected by a rare disease known as Gastroschisis. You may ask yourself, “What is Gastroschisis?” Pronounced gas-troh-skee-sis. Gastroschisis is a rare birth defect of the abdominal (belly) wall. The baby’s intestines stick outside of the baby’s body, through a hole beside the belly button. The hole can be small or large and sometimes other organs, such as the stomach and liver, can also stick outside of the baby’s body. Gastroschisis occurs early during pregnancy when the muscles that make up the baby’s abdominal wall do not form correctly. A hole occurs which allows the intestines and other organs to extend outside of the body, usually to the right side of belly button. Because the intestines are not covered in a protective sac and are exposed to the amniotic fluid, the bowel can become irritated, causing it to shorten, twist, or swell. Soon after the baby is born, surgery will be needed to place the abdominal organs inside the baby's body and repair the abdominal wall. Even after the repair, infants with gastroschisis can have problems with feeding, digestion of food, and absorption of nutrients.

At our 18-week ultra-sound, we not only received the news that we were expecting a baby girl, but we also received news that our baby had a rare birth defect. Gastroschisis is a birth defect in which the baby’s small and large intestines (sometimes stomach and liver as well) are located externally rather than internally. We are confident that our gastro warrior will beat the odds and have a healthy and fruitful life. We are now at 32 weeks gestational age and have been to endless ultrasounds, NST’s, and OB appointments on a weekly basis and heading closer to delivery.We are asking loved ones and the community to help us with our
cause by purchasing a shirt to show support for Gastroschisis
Awareness Day which will be recognized on July 30th, 2019. All proceeds will go
towards medical expenses for Baby Soto's surgery and NICU stay
at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
