Meet our October Patient of the Month, Mariana. Mariana was born with Crouzon syndrome, a genetic disorder that prevents the skull from growing normally, and caused difficulties with her breathing. At just a year and a half old, her parents brought her to Nicklaus Children's Hospital, and a week later, Mariana had a tracheostomy. Now with the ability to breathe better, Mariana started to thrive. Watch Mariana’s story and support patients like her at [ Ссылка ]
