Connor was born
on December 30, 2004 at Howard County General
Hospital. Doctors performed an emergency
C-section due to his heart rate dropping to
zero. After the C-section, doctors spent 7
minutes doing resuscitation. The results of his
birth left Connor with serious brain and lung
damage. The physicians then sent him to Johns
Hopkins Hospital where a trach was inserted and
he was placed on a ventilator. He also requires
a feeding tube. Connor spent 5 months at Johns
Hopkins and another 3 months at Mt. Washington
Hospital in Baltimore. After 8 months Connor was
allowed to come home. He requires 16 hours of
home nursing care a day. With his nurse he has
started attending Rock Creek School. Connor is
not able to sit or stand his own and he relies
on a feeding tube for nourishment. |

| Ciana was born
November 26, 2007 at Howard County General
Hospital. After her birth she was placed in the
NICU because doctors believed she had a mass in
her abdomen. The Howard County NICU decided to
transfer Ciana to Johns Hopkins Hospital. At
Johns Hopkins they performed a catheterization
and found a blockage in her bladder. After
further testing it was determined that the
blockage was a malignant tumor in her bladder.
Chemo was started immediately and she will have
to undergo a minimum of 40 weeks of
chemotherapy. Every 15 weeks Ciana has to
undergo a battery of tests and scans to make
sure that the cancer is contained. |
