Make content about: Caleb finds comfort through play
Caleb has faced open-heart and spinal surgeries, finding comfort and courage through play during long hospital stays.
This story
Caleb was diagnosed with spina bifida and a complex heart condition, leading to two open-heart operations and spinal surgery. Hospital visits have been part of his life from a very young age, alongside ongoing appointments with multiple specialist teams. Playing with toys and watching favourite programmes continue to give him a sense of normal childhood and calm during difficult procedures.
