We have often heard cases of babies who have difficulty walking or speaking, but they are rare without sound.
This was true of the little girl Maddie Caputo, who was born with a breathing problem where the airway was too narrow.
She was put in a tube to improve the airway, but about 75% of her vocal was lost. There were two problems that prevented Maddie from getting the first words out.
In April 2017, the baby suffered a shock from an infection that could kill his life. Urgently getting to the hospital prompted doctors to hold it with a breathing tube for premature babies, and after the 8 - hour operation, Dad was able to say for the first time.
