Where is the best hospital to have my son's small intestine transplant. he is 6 weeks old and has microvillious intrusion disease.

Very few options: You are going to need to move and live at wherever you choose for about a year. There are just a few places that could actually do this well. Children, s Hospital of Philadelphia is probably the best choice. Boston Children's also as well as Lurie Children's in Chicago. Not as familiar with west coast facilities. God be with you- I'll keep baby in my prayers. This is a very complicated procedure
