A young California boy who was born with cystic fibrosis is battling a COVID-19 infection, his mother said.
Since his birth, Noah has been hospitalized nearly 35 times and has required a ventilator 20 times due to cystic fibrosis, a rare, inherited life-threatening disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system, Schneider told the news station. "Due to Noah's frequent need of a ventilator during admissions, he received a trach [tube] in his throat Oct. 27, 2020, so it would be easier to ventilate without actually having to intubate him," his mother said.More Related News
