Hi! I'm Kalib. I
was born extremely premature and have suffered numerous health problems.
I weighed 1 lb. 4 oz and was 12 inches long. I spent my first 6 months in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) of Methodist Hospital in Dallas, TX fighting for my life. I have a spinal cord injury at level T11 which makes my legs paralyzed. I have recently survived a bout with cancer. It was a Wilm's tumor and was taken out surgically. I also had 20 weeks of chemotherapy. I hated it. I have lots of health issues but I am also a normal boy in a lot of ways.

I LOVE Nintendo, Sega Genesis, and computer games. I also like to watch TV. Some favorites of mine are
Digimon, Power Rangers, Dexter's Laboratory, & Magic School Bus. I love anything to do with dinosaurs, hot wheels and Star Wars. I love school, I just don't like school work. I like Back Street Boys and 'N Sync. I really want to go to Disney World some day.
I have a big brother (Matthew) and a little sister (Michaela) and we live with my
mom (Shannon) and my dad (Aaron) in Lindale, TX.
