Damion was born way early at 23 weeks unexpectedly while his mom was out of state getting cochlear implant surgery for his older brother, Kylo. Arrangements were made for his mom and older brothers to live in Utah while dad traveled back and forth from their home in Texas to keep his job.

Little Damion has fought so hard to survive, overcoming 3 bacterial infections and 2 skin infections that placed him in septic shock at 1 month old. He was successfully extubated and on his way to recovery in the NICU when, at 3 months old, he caught a UTI that led him back into septic shock, and due to the strain on his lungs, he was reintubated. The decision was made on October 30th to place a tracheostomy and a G-tube to help Damion's lungs heal and hopefully get him home faster! We are finally all home under one roof but with my son being so medically complex we have made the decision that I stay home to care for him. This has been very hard on my family.
