The women, Tara Sturman:35-years-old, and Andrea Cobbold:33-years-old, who have been friends since childhood have babies weeks apart, but the babies have the same deadly illness called biliary atresia. The disease causes them to be born without bile ducts outside their liver so bile enter their bloodstream poisoning the liver and causing cirrhosis, a disease of the liver characterized by increase of connective tissue and alteration in gross and microscopic makeup.
Those poor babies. I hope their able to take care of them and nurse them to good health.
