how about how to avoid it... if there are less invasive ways that might possibly wake those nerves up before the "window" of surgery opportunity shuts...(keeping in mind for yourself that window is relative to the surgeons opinion)chiropractic,water therapy and acupuncture come to mind.
if you are of that nature ofcourse...and if your surgeon feels that it is not acceptable Im sure he will say so, but it seems like more and more the surgeons are being presented with cases where the babies are really helped withthese modalities so it mnight be worth a try.
