He underwent multiple procedures to ensure he could properly receive nourishment. Doctors inserted a feeding tube into his abdomen. Though he lived what the report described as “a normal life,” the doctors said the “prognosis for recovery of function was poor.” The young man assumed he would live with the disease for the rest of his life.
