In heartwarming video, dad hospitalized after cancer diagnosis welcomes baby boy

According to the Huffington Post, doctors diagnosed Cagney Wenk with stage-four gliboblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, three weeks before his fiancee, Jessica Li, was due to give birth to their son, Levon. As the Colorado man recovered from surgery in the ICU at Boulder Community Hospital, his nurses wanted to do something nice for the couple.

That's when they contacted an organization called Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep to document Wenk welcoming his baby boy.

"There is a point during the birth where Cagney tells Jessica that they are surrounded by all the love in the world right now," Boccolucci told the Huffington Post. "It is my hope that people will see the video, feel the love this family shares, and help lift them up and make a donation if they are able."
