Ja'bari Gray was born on New Year's Day in San Antonio, Texas, missing the skin on most of his body.
Given Gray's condition and the fact that he was experiencing reductions in his heart rate and not gaining weight, doctors at a San Antonio hospital considered turning off the baby's life support. But his mother fought to have him transferred to another hospital. Eventually, in April, he was taken to Texas Children's Hospital in Houston—the only place that would accept him.
Against all odds, Gray is still alive, unlike the only other two babies who have been born with this condition in the United States, neither of whom survived very long. For the transplant—the first of its kind in a child of this age and with this condition—doctors grafted skin onto Gray which had been grown by a pharmaceutical company that normally provides skin for burn victims. The skin was grown using cells that doctors collected from the baby's ear.
"Now you can kiss him, touch him, do all that stuff," Maldonado said."He got to wear his first set of clothes now, so he's getting there.""It was heartwarming, because he was crying when he was laying down, but as soon as I picked him up and had the skin-to-skin contact and put him on my chest, he just stopped crying," she said.
