Dylan Bolles-Prasse (12) enjoys becoming a
pilot for a day with the U.S. Air Force 334th Fighter Squadron that
includes sitting in the cockpit of a F-15E Strike Eagle at Seymour
Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina in March 2018.
Dylan
has experienced more hardship and adversity than most people can
imagine. He was born with Hirschsprung Disease, a defect in which
nerve cells at the end of the bowel are missing. At 3, he suffered
an infection that caused him to lose his intestines and a year
later, he underwent a full bowel transplant. The procedure still
requires him to use a feeding tube, go to the doctor frequently for
blood draws, and take anti-rejection medicine to ensure his body
continues to accept the new organs.
