She was operated on before she was even born. Now, she’s thriving.

Summary

At 24 weeks pregnant, Caitlin Kidder underwent a groundbreaking fetal surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital to repair her daughter Camille’s complex gastroschisis, a condition where intestines develop outside the abdomen; surgeons operated on the fragile exposed intestines and later performed additional surgeries after birth to address complications, including fused skin and a small bowel perforation. Now three months old and meeting developmental milestones, Camille's recovery offers hope to her family and is part of an FDA clinical trial aiming to evaluate this novel fetal procedure.
