Cheeky Chappy: Kaden, Another survivor!




Hello all,


We had this email and pics sent from proud parents, Mike and Gil. As you can see, Kaden is an adorable boy who faced some of the challenges that Imogen did. He is yet another success story and we hope people reading this will take something positive from their story. One of the pictures shows Kaden hooked up to a ventilator like Imogen and it brings back memories. We are sure Kaden will go from strength to strength and we wish him and his parents lots of love and luck for the future.

Hi,

I have just come across your website and am delighted your ‘special little girl’ is doing so well! Our son Kaden was born in July this year with the same defect- and like you we were painted a very bleak picture. Kaden is being fed 20 hours a day by a machine with high calorie milk as he is struggling to put on weight, and wont look at a bottle as he has really bad reflux.
I have attached a few pictures of our special boy who we named Kaden – after finding out at a 18 week scan how ill our boy was and had a 50/50 chance of survival at birth, Kaden means ‘fighter’ and he certainly has had the biggest fight of his life.
I’m so glad I came across your site, as this gives us hope for the future for our boy Kaden who will be 5 months old on Xmas Day – and I hope he does as well as Imogen.

Best Regards
Gil
