Born with a rare tracheoesophageal fistula affecting just 1 in 3,500 newborns, Cataleya faced extraordinary odds from day one.

Thanks to James Davis, M.D., and the multidisciplinary teams at Pediatrix® Surgical Associates and Pediatrix® Neonatology of Texas, she underwent a novel procedure that helped shorten her NICU stay from the typical 11–12 months to just four and a half months.

The surgery was the first of its kind at Presbyterian Plano Hospital and one of only a handful performed in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, offering meaningful support to Cataleya’s military family when they needed it most.

Today, Cataleya is celebrating her first birthday and thriving. Read her inspiring story on today’s blog ➡️ https://hubs.li/Q04w3zhC0.
