Sloanie Strong- Sloan's battle with Biliary Atresia

Sloanie Strong- Sloan's battle with Biliary Atresia Sloan was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia at 3 months old and had a liver transplant at 4 months old. This is her story.

My daughter Sloan was born 4/26/17 as a full term, healthy baby. The only red flag was her jaundice persisted beyond 2 months old (not a concern of her pediatrician), and that combined with increasing abdominal distention led my husband and I to bring her in for a "piece of mind" check-up. We were sent directly to Boston Children's Hospital on Aug. 8, 2017 and never looked back. She was diagnosed

with Biliary Atresia- a congenital and life-threatening condition in which the bile ducts going to/from the liver never fully develop, therefore causing the bile to become backed up and the liver to fail. She was in stage 4 liver failure and deteriorated rapidly given her late diagnosis. Sloan underwent her life-saving surgery on Sept. 8, 2017 with a living donor. Throughout this journey, we have a large Sloanie Strong community that has been praying for her and our family. This page was created to keep those informed with Sloan's progress. May the prayers, well wishes and positive vibes keep coming
