Life is unpredictable. The truth is that we are never aware of the obstacles and challenges that can get on our way, but what we should never forget is that we must never stop fighting and believing that things would eventually get a turn for the better. Chelsea Hough couldn’t wait to meet her baby. Her pregnancy was a normal one, and just as she reached 36 weeks, she gave birth to a baby boy whom they named Karson Jax Hough!

During the first moments of his life, Karson resembled a perfectly healthy baby, but then, all of a sudden, his heartbeats slowed down and his heart stopped. Doctors tried skin-to-skin contact with his mother and that’s when his heart started beating again, but that didn’t last long. The sweet bundle of joy was in need of a ventilator to help his heart work and facilitate his breathing.

“The only way to describe what has happened is that this beautiful baby boy has suffered two very rare conditions that are completely unrelated to one another. One being unidentifiable as to a cause,” Karson’s Nana, Lisa Hough, wrote. What doctors suspected was that sweet Karson suffered from a hemorrhage in his left temporal lobe, as well as nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH), a rare genetic disorder that causes accumulation of glycine in the body’s tissues and fluids.

The doctors said the chances of survival were slim. After some time, they advised Karson’s family to remove him from life support. They deliberated carefully and concluded that it would be best to follow the doctors’ advice. As they prayed together, they were told that they would only have about 10 minutes with Karson before he died. When the ventilator was turned off, the sweet baby began breathing on his own.

The doctors were taken aback and called it a miracle. “We witnessed a miracle today!!” Lisa Hough penned the piece. “We were given 10 minutes after withdrawing intensive care and the ventilator and told that he would not be able to breathe on his own and that his heart would stop within those 10 minutes… “But God and Karson had other ideas!” I’m not sure why I thought we were so unworthy of a miracle… and I’m not sure how much time we have with him, but we have him now.

“And now we’ll take,” Lisa explained. Karson thrived once he returned home. His weight is normal, and his heart rate is steady. His Glycine levels have dropped dramatically, and he is beating the odds every day. We wish this adorable baby a happy and healthy future.
