DENVER (KDVR) — Two parents in Colorado had to resuscitate their baby twice, just days after coming home from the NICU, according to a press release from HCA HealthONE Rocky Mountain Children's Hospital.
Baby Hunter was born through an emergency C-section due to preeclampsia after only 34 weeks, said the release.
He was diagnosed with a rare congenital condition, Tracheoesophageal Fistula and Esophageal Atresia, which affects the esophagus and trachea, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Within 24 hours of his birth, he was taken to HCA HealthONE Rocky Mountain Children's, which is the only Level IV NICU in the region.
Hunter would spend the next 150 days in the NICU, along with his parents, who were learning critical training in the hospital's HomewardBound NICU program.
The training would soon save Hunter's life.
Eventually, Hunter was discharged and cleared to go home. After only days of being home, he began to experience apnea spells. His parents knew exactly what to do, utilizing their training to resuscitate Hunter twice before he was transferred back to Denver, the release said.
Doctors discovered that he was silently aspirating and would require another procedure.
The hospital reports that today, Hunter is 7.5 months old and is thriving.
