Jacob was found to have problems before he was born. He was born with
a compromised immune system, atrial septal heart defect and had an anurysm in
his aorta. Jacob was sick from get go. At 9 months he was hospitalized for RSV
and constantly had an ear infection or respiratory infection. He progressed
slower than most infants his age.
In 2009 he was found to have duplication chromosome 14q32.33 and he and his
sister are the only know cases in the world. He has chronic asthma and is on
daily breathing treatments for this condition. He was hospitalized in 2010 for
intestinal bleeding and was discovered to have a mass on his intestines.
Jacob has been diagnosed with many things all of which are related to the
genetic disease. He gets tired very easy and his muscles will not allow him to

Jacob takes a daily regime of medicines and breathing treatments to control his
illnesses.
