Please watch this special interview with Shane Blanchard, kidney dialysis warrior from Oskaloosa, Iowa.
Blanchard was diagnosed with Eagle-Barrett Syndrome, commonly known as prune belly syndrome, a rare congenital disorder. The syndrome is characterized by either a partial or complete lack of abdominal muscles.
At birth Blanchard's prognosis was grim. Doctors said he would most likely not live beyond a year. Since then, Blanchard has survived more than 50 operations and kidney failure at age 22.
