A Family Affair: Montana’s Story
“It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do,” said Mary Beth of bringing her son, Montana, to Children’s Hospital’s Transitional Care Unit (TCU) in February 2008. “It took me a while to get used to the idea of having him elsewhere because I wanted him at home” with his twin brother, Micah, and older sister, Victoria. Born six weeks early, Montana was a small but seemingly healthy newborn. But four days after his March 2003 birth, Montana developed an e-coli infection in his large intestine causing swelling around his brain, his organs to shut down and his bowel to perforate. The infection, which had no cause or cure, kept Montana in the newborn intensive care unit for five months and required three surgeries to eventually remove most of his large intestine.
