## Resource

Doctors are injecting Botox into fetuses to treat complex gastroschisis—a life-threatening condition where intestines protrude through a hole in the abdomen—by temporarily paralyzing abdominal muscles to prevent damage. Used for the first time in the U.S. on 11-month-old Noel Price, this groundbreaking prenatal procedure gave her a fighting chance against a grim prognosis: early delivery as a micropreemie or lifelong feeding tubes. After a tense, breath-holding injection at 25 weeks, initial scans showed no change—but within days, blood flow improved and swelling receded. Born at 34 weeks weighing nearly three pounds, Noel’s intestines were carefully repositioned and surgically repaired. Today, she’s thriving, eating solids, and growing normally—a medical miracle that redefines hope for babies with this rare, devastating condition.
