Noah Sweeney was born at 33 weeks with VACTERLS syndrome. He has vertebral problems, Imperforate anus, Cardiac defects, TE fistula, and a single kidney. He spent 11 months in the hospital before coming home the first time. He has had over 35 surgeries to correct his problems, however this TEF repair left him with tracheobronchiomalacia. He has had a trach for 2 years, but will hopefully be getting it out this summer.
Update November 2001 - Noah was decannulated in 1998.
