Baby comes home after months

Four-month-old Kenji Kammerer left Medical City Children's Hospital on Thursday. He'd been there since he was five weeks old with a life-threatening diagnosis.

Rare intestinal condition discovered

Doctors found Kenji had intestinal malrotation at five weeks old, despite showing no previous symptoms. The condition left him seriously ill.

Four surgeries and complications

Kenji underwent four surgeries and experienced complications with multiple organ systems. More than 75 hospital staff members helped him recover.

Doctor wasn't sure he'd survive

Dr. Kris Bysani recalled Lindsey asking if Kenji would make it. The first night was unimaginable, but Bysani said he'll remember saving the boy forever.

“He was so sick at that time, and she came right to my face and said, 'Do you think he's going to make it?' And I said, we can take care of this.”

What is intestinal malrotation

The bowel twists on itself, cutting off blood flow. Babies start throwing up, but not every baby who vomits has this extremely rare condition.

“The bowel twists on itself. And kids, when they're very little, and the first sign is just they start throwing up.”

Dallas firefighters celebrate homecoming

Dallas firefighters gathered at the hospital Thursday to celebrate Kenji's release. His father Ian noted Kenji has spent more time hospitalized than at home.

“It takes a village and our village just expanded tremendously by everyone here at Medical City that has taken care of us.”
