AUTISM -Porter was officially diagnosed with having Autism- 3/27/08. He is starting on a Gluten Free/Casein Free diet to help heal his gut, and Bio-Medical therapy, plus Speech Therapy, and many, many other 'therapies'.
HYPOHIDROTIC ECTODERMAL DYSPLASIA -This is one of Porter's diagnoses. Due to this condition, Porter can not sweat to cool his body and if overheated, could spike high fevers, vomit, dehydrate and seizure...and possibly die. Therefore, Porter always needs to be in an air condition/cooled environment. This makes him 'Medically Fragile'.
Please help by donating to NFED.
IMMUNOGLOBULIN G DEFICIENCY (B-Cell) -Another one of Porter's diagnoses. He receives IVIg therapy once per month for the rest of his life...just to stay alive.
TOTAL PARENTERAL NUTRITION (TPN) -Porter had a Central Line inserted into his chest and recieves TPN nightly from 2 seperate pumps of TPN and Lipids, that his Father, James prepares nightly and puts into a small backpack that Porter wears to bed. This is to help build his immune system and help him grow. This has been our 'liquid gold'. Porter has not needed any hositalization since being on TPN.
