It turned out that Jessica’s son was wrestling with a number of complications.
Some things weren’t life threatening—but others were much more serious.
The doctor explained that among other things, Jessica’s son would be born with Down syndrome, hydrocephalus, and heart problems.
It was also uncertain whether Jessica and Frank’s son would survive childbirth.
Yet, despite warnings from the medical team and worried friends, Jessica chose to have her baby.
The birth went well and the family never gave up hope on their miracle boy—not for a second.
Caden was born in 2005, and his name, which means “fighting spirit” in Gaelic, was a more than fitting.
Because this boy was unlike any other…
Perhaps it was his unshakable hope that helped Caden develop into a strong, healthy boy—far from the doctors’ first projections.
No one believed that Caden would be able to live a relatively “normal” life, but he has repeatedly disproved his doubters.
Today, Caden is a ray of sunshine who always welcomes whatever comes his way and spreads joy wherever he goes.
Watch this video to follow Caden’s story and see his reunion with the doctor who helped bring him into this world:
I’m so glad this incredible story ended happily and that Caden and his family are doing great today.
