Autumn
was born with rare birth defects called Tracheoesophageal Fistula
and Esophageal Atresia which involved the malformation of the
trachea (windpipe) and esophagus (foodpipe). Autumn was also
diagnosed with a paralyzed left vocal cord which allowed all
liquids to silently aspirate into her lungs.
Surgery was successful at 23 hours of life to repair the trachea and esophagus
but the paralyzed vocal cord remains a problem and Autumn will always have
difficulty with her eating and breathing. |
