Calvin Wells is only three years old, but he has been through more than most adults.

Calvin had a stroke at 15 months due to an undetected iron deficiency. Since then, he has undergone more than 30 surgeries.

His mom, Angela, says doctors didn't think he would be able to walk or talk again, but Calvin continues to prove them wrong.

The video contains Calvin's story.
