The boy, who should live only a few weeks, turns 2 years old
Your own birthday is always a very special event for children - but in the case of little Jaxon Strong it is much more than that! That the American recently celebrated his second birthday is a miracle!
Already at the beginning of pregnancy, the doctors diagnosed Mico-hydranencephaly - a severe malformation of the brain. But for the parents Brittany and Brandon Bruell an abortion was never in question, despite the advice of the medical profession.
Happy 23-months, Jaxon! Still growing and still beating the odds. This is what strength looks like! #JaxonStrong pic.twitter.com/dcPBM8NrHr

It was clear to the doctors that Jaxon would never see or hear anything. Jaxon Strong showed them the opposite and discovers the world today with all his senses! For children with a devastating diagnosis like this, the achievement of the second year of life is almost impossible.
And in this regard too, the little boy proved to all that a strong will to live can overcome many hurdles. Even first crawling attempts are now on the daily schedule at Jaxon.

For Brittany and Brandon, her son is the greatest gift on earth. Even if they look together into a rather uncertain future:
The time of three compensates the parents for all the worries of the past 24 months and confirms them every second in that it was absolutely right to decide for their child and against the opinion of the doctors!
