Jessica Clifton-Enge and her family from Cincinnati, Ohio, had experienced two difficult pregnancies. But with her third child, Jessica finally had the “amazing” pregnancy she always yearned for. However, once their son James was born in December 2025, multiple complications followed, including a rare condition that prevented the infant from growing at a rate consistent with others at that stage.
Jessica told Newsweek that James’ health challenges started pretty early on. She said, “Shortly after birth, James was rushed to the NICU, where he stayed for 23 days because his glucose was severely low.” She went on to share that, at that point, James’ older sisters did not even know whether he was a boy or a girl.
