Tyler Krebs Superhero Brady: The true story of a boy overcoming a code blue, NICU, cooling blanket, G-J Tube, cerebral palsy, and stem cell procedures epub tamamen, tamamen

Brady Allen Krebs was born on 2/28/12 at 5:41 p.m. He was 22 inches long and was 11 lbs. and 9 oz. When Brady was born, he wasn't breathing and didn't have a heartbeat. It took doctors and nurses about four minutes to resuscitate him. Brady was immediately transferred to the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children Hospital and stayed there for 6 weeks in their NICU. He went through hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) treatment. For HIE treatment Brady was placed on a cooling unit. His body temperature was kept around 90 degrees for three days. This was done to slow the body down and reduce swelling in the brain. Brady's brain scans found that he had brain injuries due to his lack of oxygen at birth. He was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and started OT and PT in the hospital. Brady also underwent surgery to receive a G-J tube to help with his feeding. Brady also had four stem cell procedures at Duke University Hospital between the ages of one and three. We banked his umbilical cord blood at birth and learned about a study to help babies with brain injuries. Brady is now 6-years-old. He attended Kindergarten this year and is in special education classes where he still receives OT, PT and speech therapy. Through the CaringBridge website, we have documented Brady's birth story from his time in the NICU, through his stem cell procedures, therapy appointments and beginning school. We hope that this book can help families like ours who are going through similar experiences. With love, Tyler, Ali, Ava, Casey and Brady Krebs
