Description

Adam Hoge is known for his incredible coverage of the Chicago Bears and has also covered baseball and football in Chicago since 2008. He can also be heard on the Hoge and Jahns Podcast, but today we are going to be discussing something other then sports. Adam will be sharing his son, James's 22q journey. James was delivered premature at 31 weeks, while his family was on vacation. After delivery, he was placed in the NICU due to his size and other health complications that arose. James was in the NICU for over a month when one day a group of doctors entered his room and told Adam and his wife that it was confirmed that James had DiGeorge Syndrome (22q).
