When little Braden was born, his mother prayed for the Lord to bring him home to relieve his pain. But looking at this precious boy 22 years later, it’s hard not to shed a tear… When Braden West was born, his parents were told he wouldn’t live long.
The reason was that he was diagnosed with Pfeiffer syndrome type 2, a genetic disorder characterized by the premature fusion of certain skull bones, which prevents the skull from growing normally and affects the shape of the head and face. The devastated parents learned about their son’s condition two weeks before he was born when an ultrasound revealed anomalies. As expected, they were extremely worried and felt like their world was shattering into pieces.
“I mean, he’s kicking inside my belly, and I’m praying for God to bring him home,” Cheri said to News Nation Now in 2020, adding, “It looked like he wasn’t going to have the back of his head. It looked like he was going to be born with teeth. It looked like the situation was bad.”
