Kade Sutton, an 18-year-old cricket player, miraculously returned to the cricket pitch after a life-threatening cardiac arrest. His father's message on a hospital whiteboard inspired him to resume playing. He now wears a defibrillator under his left armpit.
As 18-year-old Kade Sutton lay in a hospital bed recovering from a near-fatal cardiac arrest , the only thing he can recall seeing was a whiteboard on which his father had written: "Kado, you will play cricket again".
Now, he is back on the field with some extra kit, in the form of a defibrillator that was surgically inserted under his left armpit.Far from being apprehensive, the promising all-rounder has been impatiently counting down the days, and was delighted to receive a clearance from Cricket Australia's cardiologist to resume playing slightly ahead of schedule.
The defibrillator gives him a sense of confidence, and he is intent on making the most of his second shot at life.
