A baby born without a top layer of skin is now six months old - despite being born looking 'like a piece of uncooked meat'.

Jessica Kibbler and Jack Shattock, were just 19 years old when their baby arrived in excruciating pain.

Kaiden Jake Shattock was born ten weeks premature at Nottingham City Hospital on November 24 weighing 2lb 7oz.

And even nurses had to leave the room to 'cry their eyes out' as they processed the mystery ailment that left the tot without skin.

For ten days the new parents were not able to hold their son - and it took six weeks for Kaiden to start growing skin.

Now six months old he is living at home with his parents but a month ago he had to have a skin graft to transfer skin from his stomach to his right arm.

He is expected to need at least four more operations over the next year and has been admitted to Warwick Hospital for emergency treatment six times.

The only skin Kaiden was born with was on his face and since birth he had battled sepsis, necrotising enterocolitis, congential herpes, dermolysis and bronchiolitis.

The doctors told us twice that he probably wouldn’t survive, but we decided that we’d do absolutely everything we could to pull him through.'

Jessica had a kidney complication called hydronephrosis during her pregnancy. She also suffered bleeding nearly three months before Kaiden’s due date, before going into early labour.

Kaiden's case is now being investigated by experts abroad.

Kidney problems and infecting him with herpes

Congenital herpes simplex is an infection caused by exposure in the uterus. In most cases, babies contract congenital herpes in the birth canal during delivery, although in rare circumstances, it's possible to be infected in the uterus or immediately after birth.

:( He shares my Kaiden’s handsome name..
 
Yikes!
I would call this awful long before calling it a miracle.
Definition of miracle

1: an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairsthe healing miracles described in the Gospels
2: an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishmentThe bridge is a miracle of engineering.
3. Christian Science : a divinely natural phenomenon experienced humanly as the fulfillment of spiritual law

This is more like an origin story for a super villain

Or yet another crime committed by the ultimate super villain...

GOD.
 
Not a miracle? Are you actually joking or something? I'm Kaiden's proud aunti and I've had to go through a hell of a lot because of this poor and blessed baby. Being born with 2% skin doesn't happen everyday, oh and let's not forget that his skin actually grew back! Kaiden is world wide famous because of his unknown condition that has yet not been diagnosed. Specialists are looking into Kaiden's severely rare condition as we speak, he's a 1 in a billion miracle. Thoughtless and rude comments like yours should be instantly reported and removed. Despite having to resuscitate him over 5 times, changing his bandages twice a day, nurses popping round to visit him 6 times a week, having to feed him different types of medication, keeping him from infections and illnesses and Jessica & Jake being his full time carers, at least have some sympathy for the whole lot of them as their baby has had over 10 death encounters. You scum bag.

Your nephew is sick and yet you have time to be upset over a difference of opinion? Go to hell. Go love on him instead of worrying about what other ppl think
 
Why don't you shut your mouth. I'm not his full time carer, my sister is. I'm worrying about him 24/7 and I'm always on edge. You're telling me to go to hell, the person who's nephew is a miracle, that's quite rich coming from you. He's been through thick and thin and you have the nerve to tell me to go to hell? I'm being passionate as he's my blood, not yours and you're not the one with a slowly dying family relative and a sister who is virtually on the end of a mental breakdown. Honestly, the nerve in some people. You need help.

I'm quite aware that my nephew is sick and I'm not upset because of a stupid little opinion. You're telling me to love him somewhere else? I love him more than anything right now and I always will do. As if I'm going to not reply to Jack Burton's comment. If I want to get upset over an opinion then I will as it's perfectly normal and I'm sure you've been before too. I think you're an ass hole, that's my opinion.

You can tell me to go to hell and you can call me what you want - but at the end of the day, no fucks are given to you and your pathetic reply so do your worst bitch.

Your responses indicate otherwise
 
you're not the one with a slowly dying family relative
Are you sure? You don't know my family. Oh boo hoo. You're not the only one with a sick relative. You can't really be this dumb.
And if he's slowly dying HOWWWWWWW is he a miracle? Get your story straight, dumb ass lil girl.

but at the end of the day, no fucks are given to you and your pathetic reply so do your worst bitch.
That baby soliloquy says otherwise. Liar liar pants on fire. :hilarious:

I think you're an ass hole, that's my opinion.
I can agree with that. I really am a proud asshole. and you can eat a dick :shrug:
 
@Trixyy II Kaiden's birth and survival are absolutely a miracle. He looks like such a sweet, happy baby in his more recent picture posted above. It's wonderful that he has such a loving, caring, family support system. I sincerely hope he continues to improve and has a happy, healthy, long, and wonderful life. Staying strong and positive against such overwhelming odds is hard, and I feel great empathy for his parents. Please tell them they're not alone.

We always empathize with the baby or kiddo; not so much with the adults. Living with exposed nerves sounds like an endless nightmare not a miracle. Poor little darling.

Didn't she just say he's dying?

Surviving in excruciating pain is NOT a miracle. It's inhumane. I'm not saying let him die. but that is certainly no way to live. and if you cant understand that, then may you be skinned alive so you can get the picture.

@Trixyy II ... It is amazing that Kaiden is surviving his rare and dangerous condition, and nobody here said otherwise, nor did anyone wish him or his family ill. Some people did have a THEOLOGICAL difference of opinion on the use of the word "miracle". That's all. Nobody attacked Kaiden or his family.

You came into our community and started attacking us and calling us names. You are the one in the wrong here. A mature person would own that.
 
She specifically said "you're not the one with a slowly dying family relative". Next time read before you decide to crap on someone's comment :rolleyes:

She doesn't say that's Kaiden. I gave your comment a "crap" because it was needlessly rude and insulting to a family member who only came to give us an update, thereby causing "crap". Maybe try saving the vitriol for the offenders.

She didn't have to say his name. It's implied. Not only that, but she mentioned her sister in the same sentence. It's called reading comprehension. The bitch didn't come to give an update. She came to bitch about people saying that it's not a miracle. she could give a fuck less about giving us an update. Hell, the second sentence in her rant is about how SHE'S going thru a lot. Damn what the baby is going through. Frankly fuck her.....and fuck you too :shrug:

And let me just add @elmgems I LOVE how out of everyone who had something to say, you decided to single ME out. You didn't even crap on Jack's comment. That says a lot. Fuck you

Thank you for your sympathy! I have Autism and it's a hard life for me too but no as hard as Kaidens. You're right, I do react differently to unknowable situations because I'm not use to such worded confrontation. I apologise to all of these people for my unacceptable behaviour and I won't be so rude next time. I did not come into this community to rain on your parade, I genuinely searched up Kaiden Jake Shattock and found this website. I am a very apologetic person. I struggle to handle the truth and to accept other people's opinions, that's just me and I strive to work on that everyday. The reason why I get so negative is because I'm passionate about my nephew's illness.

I apologise in advanced and I won't be so negative.

I don't really appreciate being called an idiot, but that baby has been through enough and it wouldn't be such a popular subject right now if wasn't a "miracle".

Being born with 98% no skin and growing it back within a month is a miracle.

Not to knit pick here, but according to the article he didnt even start growing his own skin until after he was 6 weeks..he's now 6 months and has had and is still in need of many skin grafts. It's not a miracle he has skin. It's science. While I grant you that he's got a fighters spirit to still be here, you make it out like he somehow miraculously regrew all his skin when the reality is that he's a long long way from the end of his road and he will bare life long scars, internal and external, from all this.

I also really doubt he'll call it a miracle when he's older. He's been doomed to a life of excruciating pain even if he over comes everything else that's ailing him at the moment. Due to unfortunate events my mom, at the age of 2, received skin grafts on her neck and chest. There are times her skin feels okay, but a majority of the time she's in pain. Mostly from the neck graft which covers about 3/4 of her neck. With the odd bouts of pain so severe they sedate her to prevent her from clawing off her own skin. Imagine skin being so taunt and so painful that they need to knock you out out to prevent you from ripping it off... now imagine that on 98% of your body. None of us can even fathom the pain he's gone through and will continue to go through.
 
If I'm honest with you, we never know if Kaiden is in deep pain. He's been prescribed with countless boxes of medication and his bedroom looks like a pharmacy. The specialists said they he will always be in pain, it's knowing how much. We change his bandages twice a day to keep his skin from going gunky, he has to have 2 baths a day and to be constantly changed. Specialists from abroad are looking into his unknown condition hopefully as we speak and soon we will find the cause to his illness.
