Baby born with half his head missing reaches first birthday medics said he’d never make


His remarkable development means all the more to doting parents Brandon and Brittany because they turned down medical advice to have an abortion before he was born.

Now Jaxon’s doctors are saying he could enjoy a much longer life than anybody expected, although his father says it is “miraculous” the youngster has made it even this far.

On a Facebook page devoted to the youngster, beaming dad Brandon wrote: “All we ever wanted was to give Jaxon the happiest, most comfortable, and most fulfilling life possible, because we know how precious his days are with us.

Every doctor we’ve talked to is fascinated that Jaxon is here today, and they can no longer predict a prognosis, although we know the reality behind this better than anyone else, what Jaxon is up against, and that his life is already miraculous at this point.”
