This is Josiah Wood! He will be two next month. Josiah was born with Spina Bifida, Hydrocephalus and Chiari Malformation 2. Due to the damage to his brain stem, Josiah’s vocal cords are paralyzed, leaving him needing a trach as well as a ventilator during sleep due to central sleep apnea. He is a quadriplegic but that has not slowed him down.
Josiah is a very happy boy who loves to dance and LOVES to eat! He also enjoys playing with his big brother and friends. Josiah’s favorite toys these days are wooden handle bells and his favorite thing to say is “HI!” He loves to make funny faces and make people laugh. He is a joy, and we are so grateful he is our little boy!
