Today is Trisomy 13 Awareness Day, and we're honored to shine a light on Aveanna patient Layne and Nurse Dustin!
With his complex condition, also known as Patau syndrome, Layne requires round-the-clock care. Nurse Dustin helps support him with feedings through his G-tube, monitors the use of his Chest Physical Therapy (CPT) vest, and completes exercises to improve Layne's range of motion.
Layne's Aveanna care team provides the stability and expertise his family needs to ensure their little boy is safe and healthy as he navigates the world with his complex condition. We're thrilled to partner with him so he can continue to bring joy to everyone around him!
Today, we celebrate Layne and recognize the strength and resilience of all our patients living with this diagnosis.
