Benjamin Orton
 |
Benjamin Orton was born on April 4, 2002 in Laconia, NH. He was born with a lot of problems, the most significant being "severe microcephaly" and "chondrodysplasia punctata". Basically in a nutshell his brain did not develop in utero. Because of Ben's brain, he will never walk, talk or do any of the other things that his brother and sister's can do. He also has hyperthryoidism, seizure disorder, hyper and hypo tonia, is blind and
significantly deaf, has g-tube, a fundoplication done and a trach. He received his trach when he was 18 months old because he had a floppy airway from birth and it was getting worse as he got older.
Ben has taught us so many things in his short life, he has influenced countless lives. We love him and pray that he will be with us for as long as possible. His birth to present story can be found on his website. Please visit if you can.
Thank you!
Becky Orton
