NATHAN WINDSOR, AGE 6

Nathan was born with Down Syndrome, congenital heart disease and a tethered spinal cord. But does that stop him from exploring and doing all the things he loves? Absolutely not!

The first three months of Nathan’s life were spent in the Janeway’s NICU, receiving the care and treatment that he needed. At 10 days old and 14 days old, he underwent two major abdominal surgeries to repair bowel obstructions and have his appendix removed.

When Nathan was just 10 weeks old, the NICU Transport Team brought him to Sickkids in Toronto for open-heart surgery to repair a hole in his heart. Three weeks later, the team travelled back to Toronto to bring Nathan home to the Janeway.

“The care and compassion that has been shown to us, from the doctors, nurses and staff at the Janeway, is first class!” say Jana and Steve, Nathan’s parents.
