Congratulations on the baby you are expecting! Our first child had cf when ultrasounds showed our second child had bright bowel. With a child already with cf, chances are unfortunately good that the second one has cf when a bright bowel shows up. Now your wife is close to delivery so you guys need to move fast to find a good pediatric surgeon. Ask your pediatrician and cf dr for a recommendation. Find a surgeon who has dealt with meconium illeus. Also it is very important to deliver at a hospital with a high level NICU. Also, close to the children's hospital so the baby can be transfered if needed. A lot of baby with bright bowel are able to pass the meconium, but quite a few require surgery. I think most require surgery because the blockage is a surprise after delivery. If a plan is in place, surgery is possible to avoid. Of course, the intestines have to not be ruptured to avoid surgery. Testing after birth determines this. My son had 10 days of enemas. His surgeon was going to give him 10 days to pass the meconium. On the morning of scheduled surgery on day 10, my son passed all of the meconium. My e-mail is sdelorenzo@sbcglobal.net. I have some info on meconium illeus that I can pass on to you.
