Sweet little Caden was born at just 30 weeks, weighing only 2lbs 5oz.  By the time he was three months old, he had already endured two major surgeries.  Caden’s diagnosis include cerebral palsy, microcephely, developmental delays, sensory processing disorder, short gut, failure to thrive, “MR,” and  cortical visual impairment.  Although Caden is non-verbal and immobile, he is working hard in physical therapy and occupational therapy, as well as at home, to overcome these obstacles.

Caden is a major snuggle bug!  He loves to be held and cuddled by his family, and loves to laugh with others.  This handsome guy also loves to swing, watch cartoons with lots of music, and he just started preschool.  Although Caden has spent more time in the hospital than at home and overcome incredible odds, he is an amazing, happy, and courageous little boy.  Caden has been through so much, and still brings incomparable joy to his family and all those who know him.
