Brady and Tyler Cluck

During the delivery of Brady Cluck, his umbilical cord separated from his body, causing him to hemorrhage. Doctors knew they had to act quickly if Brady had a chance to live. Within 12 minutes, an emergency team was assembled to perform an emergency C-Section. He was revived, but his difficulties had just begun. Brady had no heartbeat and was not breathing. His pediatrician spent 10 minutes desperately trying to revive Brady with CPR. He lost massive amounts of blood and was placed on a ventilator. Brady’s prognosis was not good. He was fortunate to be alive, but he was still not breathing.

Later doctors discovered that Brady had suffered from a condition that only affects one in 400,000 infants. Against all odds, Brady recovered and was able to breathe on his own. Remarkably, Brady and his mother had no complications after their recovery. Brady is now a happy and healthy three-year-old. Thanks to Children’s Miracle Network, the proper equipment was available to save Brady’s life.

Brady has benefited from Children’s Miracle Network in other ways than just equipment. When his baby brother, Tyler, was born, he attended sibling classes that taught him how to be a good big brother and about the changes that would happen with an infant in his house. The materials for the sibling class are furnished by Children’s Miracle Network. Every child born at Hendrick Medical Center is a miracle, and each is touched by Children’s Miracle Network in so many ways.
