his is my friends little brother landon, he is thee years old and was diagnosed with cornelia de lange syndrome shortly after he was born. he has had open heart surgery, six nasal surgeries, a vp shunt to help with fluid in his brain, a tracheostomy and oxygen for breathing difficulties, and a feeding tube for nutrition. he has also been hospitalized numerous times for infections due to his poor immune system. he is seen by more than ten specialists that are located about seventy five miles from his home. when he leaves, he has alot of equipment that must come with him at all times; including his suction machine, oxygen tank, pulse ox monitor, go bag, feeding pump, and supplies. he also needs someone right next to him for suctioning, and in a small car that has become very difficult. his mother has to squeeze in the backseat of the car between two carseats to suction during the trips. he does have a wheelchair of his own that is very comfortable for him. all in all, landon deserves to win this van so if you could pass this along to friends and family or just simply reblog and vote that would be one step closer to this little boys dream. you will be making a difference. thank you. :)
