 Three-year-old Cade inspires thousands with a viral photo highlighting his battle with short bowel syndrome. I never in a million years thought it would go viral. When I seen the images and I loaded them in to start editing on them, I actually, my eyes started watering. I'm like this, this image speaks such volumes. The snapshot taken during a recent photo shoot with moments of the heart photography has not only touched hearts, but also shed light on the struggles faced by children like Cade and their families. I wanted something to document like what it took every day to take care of him just so that when he's older he can look back and see and maybe how far he's come. Cade's incredible journey began when he was just seven months old. The Varney family received a life-changing call informing them that he was ready to be discharged from the hospital and now Cade is happily adopted with five siblings. He only had about seven centimeters of his small intestines left and a normal infant has about 255 centimeters. Before bringing Cade into their loving home, they underwent two weeks of intensive medical training to ensure they could provide him with the specialized care he needed. Cancer, it's a very scary word, but an outstanding treatment facility was here at home. I was led to the Lawson Cancer Center. As a nurse practitioner at the Lawson Cancer Center, we are champions for our patients. I am so happy for Robert. The treatment worked. It was super scary in the beginning. Our routine was terrifying. I mean, you could make a mistake that could cost somebody their life. But honestly, we're made to adapt and now TPN hookups and unhooks are just our normal. One crucial aspect of Cade's treatment is total parental nutrition, a life-sustaining therapy that delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream. Currently, Cade receives TPN for 14 hours a day. Although he has all of that stuff around him. He's just a happy, healthy, thriving little boy. He just does things different. As the image continues to circulate across social media, messages of support and admiration for Cade and the Varney family have flooded in from all corners of the globe. Last time I checked, it was like a 46,000 and I'm thinking, you know, that is such a wonderful testimony of God. Cade has short bowel syndrome, but a short bowel syndrome will never have Cade. He is wild and resilient. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Ethan Miller.
