You’re listening to TrachBaby It's a podcast about hope, inspiration, and action for the TrachBaby community.

This is Episode 13 for April 18th, 2020, Mina's Story

We're in for a story of inspiration today, we're talking with Sina from South Carolina about her daughter Mina. Mina has a craniofacial disorder caused by Crouzon syndrome. Mina was trached at 3 years old. Mina is now 5, and after listening to today's story you'll realize Mina is your typical 5-year who doesn't let her differences keep her from being the bubbly, outgoing child she is.

I want to thank Mina's mom, Sina for sharing her daughter's story because, through her courage, others may receive comfort and support. Mina is expected to have a midface and palate expansion procedure in the near future with hopes of one day being decannulated. Sina maintains a Facebook Page, titled "Mina's Journey with Crouzon Syndrome", and her mom crafts beaded ties and loves showing support to other Trach Parents.

We hope today’s episode has helped in some way. Thank you for listening.
