Corban is catching up on his sleep now that he has his own room, and doesn't have to experience quite so many obnoxious beeping noises. So thankful for this new blessing.
He still has no chest tube on his right side. Praying the left one good riddance too!
Also, docs are hoping to do an MRI of his brain by the end of the week to check his central nervous system. Really hoping it comes back normal.
CORBAN LEVI
a gift, dedicated to God
My name is Corban Levi and I was born with a rare genetic condition called Sheldon-Hall syndrome. Along with it, I have something called arthrogrypo
Because I didn't move much in my mommy's belly, my bones were weak and 4 of them broke at birth. My hips were dislocated too, but after a long 9 hour surgery, they're in place.
I had tons of fluid on my lungs after I was born, and had to have multiple sets of chest tubes for over 8 weeks because of it. I had trouble learning how to eat and and how to breathe on my own (still working on the eating part).
Because of all these things, I spent the first 5 months of my life in the NICU. It was a roller coaster ride, and there were days when no one knew if I would make it out alive. But just 5 days before Christmas, I finally got to go home!
I just celebrated my 4th birthday, and am so glad to be living life with my mommy, daddy, brother and sister who love me very, very much. They say I am their extra special gift from God, dedicated back to him. And I say, that's PERFECT!
