Jack Bryans - CMN Miracle Child 2018

Meet 'Joyful Jack' Bryans, the 2018 Miracle Child.

Even on the hard days 5-year-old Jack laughs and smiles through life, which is how he earned his nickname. Jack lives in Tyler surrounded by a loving family who adores him.

At birth, Jack stayed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at CHRISTUS Trinity Mother
Frances Hospital in Tyler because he was not thriving. A battery of tests revealed Jack had lesions on his brain and evidence of a metabolic disease. He was diagnosed in January 2016 with Leigh's Syndrome, a severe, progressive and currently incurable neurometabolic mitochondrial disease that affects the entire body.

Jack does not let his condition stop him from being a kid. He loves sports and even plays t-ball in his wheelchair.
