Newborn Baby Can’t Cry
Crying – it’s the only method newborns have to signal to their parents that they’re in distress. Hunger, pain, fatigue, discomfort — it’s all expressed through one kind of cry or another.
But what would happen if your baby couldn’t cry? Little Devon, son to Jody Woods and Joshua Sutterfield of Cullman, Alabama was born without that ability. His vocal cords are paralyzed.
When Devon does cry, says his parents, the only sounds that come out are muted squeaks. But what’s far more dangerous for Devon is that when he struggles to cry, his vocal cords close off his airway, and he turns blue.
Devon is currently being cared for by doctors at Children’s Hospital in Birmingham, where his parents have moved into the Ronald McDonald house. A family that was already in serious financial trouble before Devon’s birth, Woods and Sutterfield are now facing eviction from their home and recently lost their car.
Local media are reaching out to the public for help. You can find more information about Devon’s story here.

Desirae Moricca commented on Jan 02 12 at 2:19 pmI would like to add that there’re several reason for man moobs. Many folk refer to man boobs as bitch tits.Sometimes these grow b’cos of a rare amount of build up of estrogen inside yourbody. Now us men do not make the equivalent amounts of estrogen as women, however some men produce alot more than other men. 1 simple cause for this is due to steroid abuse.
