LITTLE Marlene Laquatra OF Pitts
burgh blew out the candles on
- her birthday cake the other day
three OF them.
That she could do so-that Marlene
was alive at all, in fact twas due TO
wonder of surgical skill.
When Marlene was born in st.
Johns Hospital, Pittsburgh, three
years ago, she had about one chance
in million of surviving single day.
For, by one of those unaccountable
omissions Of nature, the baby had
come into the world with tiny con-
Meeting hole in the walls of her
esophagus, or gullet, and her trachea,
or windpipe
This meant that when Marlene took
nourishment of any kind, food went
into her lungs, forcing out the air in
to her stomach.
Almost invariably medical records
show babies so afflicted die within
hours after they are born.
In Marlene'S case, the tracheoeso-
phogeal fistula was detected at the
first attempt to feed her. Feeding
was stopped in time to keep the
baby from strangling.
Even SO, the baby was in imminent
Danger, ana every second tnat ucked

sened her chance for survival.
A consultation of specialists was
held. They were, DR.. G. J. Stock
lein, pediatrician; Or. w. S. Nettrour,
surgeon and DR.. l.. 4. Wilde, a nose
and throat authority Together they
worked out plan by which Marlene
could be kept alive until she was old
enough to survive an operation.
First, a short length of rubber tub
ing was inserted through an incision
in the baby's stomach. Then a hypo-
dermic needle was placed at the mouth
of the tube.
For three months Marlene was fed
with this hypodermic needle through
the stomach tube. Air seeping into
her stomach from the hole in her
windpipe was removed by the suction
stroke of the needle. Then liquid

constantly in an oxygen tent to guard
against respiratory complications.

she was old enough for the UMPIRE.
cedented and difficult operation TO be
tried, she was wheeled back into the
operating room.
Her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Michael
Laquatra, had given their consent
after long elaboration, aware that it
was a gamble with death.

direct natural channel 10 the little
child's stomach. The upper end was
kept at the neck outlet.
For six weeks Marlcne fingered be-
tween life and death. Her tempera-
ture went to log. Intestinal dis
turbance complicated her condition;
and blood plasma and glucose were
injected 10 keep life in her frail body.
At last, to the delight of her doc
tors and her parents, IL became evil

Two days later,
the surgeon oper-
ated again. Two in
cisions were made,
one in the abdomen
and one in the left
