On September 16, 2022 the River Parish communities along with the surrounding communities came together to support little Anniston Cancienne’s journey. Anniston was born with a very rare medical condition called MMIHS Megacystis Microcolon Intestinal Hypoperistalsis Syndrome. Anniston is the son of Tricia and Darren Cancienne and twin to brother, Greyson of Paulina. Because of Anniston's compromised immune system, he made approximately 17 trips and stays at Children's Hospital in New Orleans in a 22 month span. Because Louisiana has no facilities that can perform this type of rare intestinal transplant, they began their intense research. Travelling to Omaha Medical Center for testing and evaluation and then to New York. After visiting both facilities, New York is where they felt they had the best worldwide surgeons to help with Anniston's medical condition. He was immediately put on the top of the transplant list.
