Jaxon Strong, the boy who given just days to live when he was born with most of his skull missing, has proven everyone wrong and just celebrated his first birthday, The Daily Mail reports. Before his birth, his parents, Brittany, 27, and Brandon Buell, 30, from Tavares, Florida, were told that their son had a rare brain malfunction called Microhydranencephaly. According to the CDC, About 1 in 4,859 babies in the United States will be born with Anencephaly and are usually stillborn or die shortly after birth.
However, on August 27, 2014, Jaxon was born weighing four pounds and has been in the loving care of his parents and world-class doctors ever since.
Jaxon now has over 90,000 likes on Facebook as well as a GoFundMe page which has generated over $50,000 so Brittany can afford to stay home and take care of Jaxon. It’s all been so overwhelming in a positive way because we can’t go anywhere without someone stopping us, and saying, ‘hey, what’s your story?’ or they would have seen his picture and say, ‘hey, look it’s Jax Strong!’ – his nickname! It’s truly incredible the amount of people he has had an impact on,” she said.
