9 hours after giving birth to baby Kaiden Jake Shattock, Jessica and her husband finally met their baby, but their emotions quickly turned from joy to sadness. Kaiden’s entire body at that time was bright red, he only had a total of 2% skin on his face.
Although doctors announced that Kaiden’s case would not survive, the couple still had hope for treatment. So more than a week has passed, baby Kaiden is still in the hospital for monitoring, unable to wear clothes because he has almost no skin on his body. She also has hearing loss, diseases such as necrotizing enterocolitis, congenital herpes, dermatitis, bronchiolitis due to lack of skin and was born prematurely.
But after 6 weeks of special care, Kaiden’s skin had begun to form even though it was still thin, easily torn and scaly. By early May, doctors decided to perform skin graft surgery on Kaiden’s right arm. Once again a miracle happened, the surgery went well, Kaiden is now more than 6 months old, weighs about 4 kg, and has stable health.
“Kaiden has a very adorable smile, despite being deaf.” – mother Jessica shared. “Keeping our child in this life is extremely lucky; we are both very happy. My husband and I will always be by our child’s side and love with all our heart, even when this disease is incurable.” .”
Couple Jessica Kibbler and Jake Shattock shared that they would not give up the opportunity to treat their son.
It is known that Kaiden will have to undergo at least four more skin graft surgeries in the next 12 months. Doctors also transferred information about her case abroad to find the cause.
