I know this was posted a long time ago, but my son was born with an imperforated anus as well. There are lots of us out there! There is a yahoo group specifically for parents with children with this condition. My son is 3 1/2 and is just potty training now. Have you heard of Dr. Pena in Cincinatti? He is the expert in the field. The reconstructive surgery is actually called the Pena procedure! Anyways, we went to visit him last summer and have learned sooooo much. My son now has a daily enema to keep him clean and this summer we will be going back to try laxatives. I hope to have him fully trained on his own by the end of summer (with laxatives of course)
Oh well you may not ever read this since it was so long ago but just wanted you to know there is a lot of information and help out there that can help you deal with all of this.
