Wyatt
Wyatt is missing a piece of his 22nd chromosome, a mutation that can manifest itself in many ways. Wyatt is nonverbal, cannot eat by mouth, and is blind in one eye. Two of his fingers are fused together on one hand. He has already had eight surgeries, including open heart surgery. Wyatt loves the outdoors. He is very tactile and enjoys nature, the pool, and obstacle courses.
Obviously, we were crushed but we didn’t even realize then what it meant for a while. The hospital that he was born at didn’t really know what it meant, so we didn’t really know what it meant. And then as it went on we kept learning more and more. - Sally, Wyatt’s mother
They had a Wikipedia printout of his syndrome, which was their guidance for treating him in the first place.
- Brian, Wyatt’s father
