Brandon Blue made his arrival in the world nearly four months ahead of schedule. Weighing just 1 lb. 8 oz, he had to fight for survival from the start. With severely underdeveloped lungs, Brandon was dependent on a respirator and tiny breathing tubes to keep him alive. During his 7 ½ months stay in the Hopkins NICU, one complication after another plagued Brandon’s recovery. Breathing problems, feeding difficulty, infections, intestinal problems, eye issues, lung disease and a heart condition were only part of the story. Then, In late 2005, Brandon lost his hearing completely and in the summer of 2006, received a unilateral cochlear implant at the Johns Hopkins Listening Center. Now 5 years old, he continues the road to recovery with the help of many at Johns Hopkins, and Howard County public school system educators and therapists.
