TALKRADIO 77 WABCs Holiday Radiothon for the Kids at Cohen Childrens Medical Center
PATIENT NAME: Maverick Saatchi
PATIENT AGE: 5
PATIENT DIAGNOSIS: TRACHEOESOPHAGEAL FISTULA
BIOGRAPHY:
- Maverick was not growing at a normal rate in utero and the doctors did not see a stomach bubble, possible TE fistula. TE fistula is an abnormal connection in one or more places between the esophagus and the trachea.
- Maverick was born 9 weeks early and had his first of 12 surgeries at one day old.
- His parents were scared of what would happen to their son but the NICU made it better; held their hand on tough days and celebrated milestones.
- Although Maverick has had surgeries over the past 5 years he has flourished into the amazing boy, who attends Kindergarten and is very bright. He loves karate, dance, ice hockey and skiing!
