Florida parents Keishera and Greg Joubert are expressing deep gratitude to the medical team at Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies after doctors performed a remarkable series of surgeries that helped save the life of their son, Cassian, who was born with Congenital High Airway Obstruction Syndrome (CHAOS).
Baby Cassian was born with CHAOS.
During pregnancy, Cassian was diagnosed with CHAOS, an extremely rare and often fatal condition in which a thick membrane blocks the fetus’s upper airway, according to WESH 2. The condition affects roughly 1 in every 50,000 to 100,000 births. Cassian’s trachea had a thick obstruction just below his vocal cords, People noted.
“When he was first diagnosed we did what every parent would do — cry and pray,” Keishera Joubert told People in an interview published May 5. “The scientific literature on CHAOS was bleak. ‘Devastatingly fatal,’ they said, but there were a few survivors. It offered a glimmer of hope, but still we mentally prepared ourselves for the worst.”
