“I have never felt a flood of joy like I did that moment we heard our daughter cry,” mom Chelsea Jones recounted of the suspense-filled moments after the birth to their baby daughter Eden. Chelsea and her husband, Taylor Jones, had been told that their daughter might not be able to breathe after birth due to cysts in her neck blocking her airway.
