Join us in this episode of BARE It All, Coffee Talk, as we sit down with Jenna to delve into her son Alex’s journey with biliary atresia and transplant. Jenna bravely shares the challenges and complications Alex faced post-transplant, offering listeners a glimpse into their daily lives and resilience.

The incidence of biliary atresia is approximately one in 10,000 children, with the disease being more common in males and in Asian and African-American newborns. Biliary atresia is not an inherited disease and does not run in families.
