Perforated sigmoid colon

Posted By Mother on July 13, 1998 at 05:15:07:







My 13 1/2 yr old son, had a 1cm perforation of the sigmoid colon with perititis. History: constipation(large bowel movements(some mucus seen), torn ACL ligament, premature, double hernias(at birth), small build, veins easily seen on his chest, abdomen, thighs.
His surgeons could only conceive that someone must of stuck a sharp object up his rectum to perforate the bowel.  A social worker was called in, she concluded there was "NO" evidence of abuse.  I know that "NO ONE" hurt my son in that way.  The surgeons & pediatrian still cannot give me a diagnosis.  I know something caused the bowel to perforate just like that. What could be wrong with my son?  Please help me?
Thank you,
