Miracle: Baby Doctors Told Parents To Abort Beats All Odds To Celebrate 2nd Birthday

Jaxon Buell, a baby boy born with half his skull missing celebrated his second birthday yesterday, 27th of August, 2016.

According to Sun, Jaxon, whose parents, Brandon and Brittany Buell were told to abort him after doctors found he suffers from an extreme malformation of the brain called Microhydranencephaly and not expected to survive, left doctors and people dumbfounded after he defied the odds to celebrate his second birthday.

After his story was shared last year online, the miracle baby won the hearts of thousands across the world.

The couple admit Jaxon may have a much shorter life than other children, but think of every day with their son as “a blessing”.

His 31-year-old father, Brandon, said: “He is doing very well, he is very comfortable and very happy. He’s smiling all the time, he laughs, he’s working on different things, like how to keep his head upright.

“He still has his struggles where he throws up, he still has several seizures several times a day, he’s still on the smaller side at 13 pounds but he’s certainly developing.”
