From that moment, we started a quest to learn all we could about this incurable condition also known as cystic hygroma. We scoured research from across the globe and spoke with experts around the country. On June 5, 2008, Crewe was born through a risky, rare surgery known as an EXIT procedure. His airway was successfully secured while he was still connected to me and breathing through the placenta.
Since Crewe was born he has received a trachestomy and been diagnosed with hypotonia (low muscle tone) and severe food allergies.
Our search for answers and treatment options during the past two years has put us on a path that is changing not only our little guy's life, but our whole family's life... for the better!
Crewe is our little canary and has alerted our family to so much valuable and life altering information. Canaries in the Coalmine is a place where we will record the ah-has we encounter during this journey.
