Diploma in perserverence

WILMINGTON, Del (WPVI) -- A special graduation ceremony took place in Wilmington Monday afternoon, for a young man who was too sick to attend his own high school graduation.

Christian Caba received his diploma in front of family, friends and doctors at A.I. DuPont Hospital for Children.

He has muscular dystrophy and a weakened heart.

But despite that, his teachers said he worked hard to achieve his diploma.
