Has anyone else had a child born with a condition called imperforate anus? My son was born with this condition and had to have a colostomy when he was under 1 day old. The colostomy was closed and reconstructive surgery was done last december. My son is 20 months old and I know that potty training him will be a challenge due to the fact that he never will have the same "gotta go potty" sensation that everyone else has and the doc says that with training, he will be socially continent. Has anyone else had to potty train a child with this condition?
