Share: Luca had surgery to repair an intestinal malrotation we discovered when he was 4, and this has changed his life. If your child has lots of vomiting or other digestive problems, you should rule out a malrotation. Luca has brought us lots of joy and while it was very hard to accept his diagnosis, we have learned so much about the joys of life from him. He wakes up every day with a smile. He is a real gift.
