So, AAI would be considered a congenital (present at birth) rather than a genetic defect? Also, it seems that some cases can be managed without surgery, as I read from Sherryllynne's post. Just trying to educate myself about this. It seems like in all cases this is a nightmare condition.

As to the OP's case, I guess we just have to let go of this one. She seems to want to go it alone. I'll continue to pray for Roriee and hope for a good outcome or at least an end to her suffering.
