Although he was born almost skinless and premature, he managed to survive

Kaiden Jake Shattock was born at 30 weeks of gestation. A term pregnancy is considered between weeks 38 and 40. The child, in addition to being premature, had only two percent of the body's skin. In these circumstances, the doctors thought that he was not going to survive, but Kaiden showed everyone that they were wrong: he had today a year and a half ago.

During her pregnancy, her mother had hydronephrosis (a kidney complication), bleeding, and ruptured amniotic sac three months before the expected date of delivery, so the baby was finally born.

Kaiden I only had the top layer of the skin on his face, which caused him a lot of pain. In fact, he suffered so much that even the nurses could not help crying when he saw him, according to his parents, Jessica Kibbler and Jake Shattock, both 20 years old.

Jessica explained to the British media that when she saw her son for the first time, the baby was "Intense red, like a piece of raw meat"

"We were two new parents of 19 years without experience in the education of children and the first we have was born very weak and very sick." Nobody said anything and everyone looked distressed and uncomfortable, Jake and I cried, but even the nurses They did not know what to say nor how to help. Kaiden was so fragile that we could not hold him for the first ten days and they had to wrap it in a blanket before touching it, "his mother described.

As the child did not have any skin, they could not cover her with clothes. Only a month and a half later, he began to develop it gradually, although a fragile and thin layer, very sensitive to friction.

During his hospitalization at the hospital, he faced several health problems: necrotizing enterocolitis, conbad herpes, dermolysis and bronchiolitis. Because of his prematurity, he also had problems with hearing. That's why doctors warned parents that the boy probably would not survive.

After six weeks of intensive care and five others in neonatology, Kaiden was discharged. Now, with six months, is good although at present they do not know if their hearing loss will be permanent.

The doctors considered that their skin condition was the product of a combination of conbad herpes and an infection, but then they ruled out this possibility and badyzed other possible disorders. The case of Kaiden It's so exceptional that it is reviewed by foreign specialists.
