Sick Pekin Project earlier posted that for the first time in 7 years Patrick Ibrahim Koroma was able to excrete using his anus like a normal human. He has been using a colostomy created to excrete before now, they said. Seven years old Patrick Ibrahim Koroma was born without an anus. He had an imperforated anus and medical professionals helped to create a colostomy to enable him have a way for excretal.
“As he needed to grow stronger, it took a while before the anus was created after it had healed earlier. A colostomy reversal surgery was scheduled so he can stool like a normal person”, the organization said.
As always, we needed funds to cover the surgery. An anonymous donor reached out and covered thecolostomy reversal surgery which was completed on Friday and Patrick is responding well.
