THE BABY BORN MISSING MOST OF HIS BRAIN WHO DEFIED DOCTORS
A 'miracle baby' celebrated his first birthday in August despite missing most of his brain.
Born
with most of his brain and skull missing, baby Jaxon Emmett Buell was
not expected to live. In fact his parents had been told to abort him
when doctors discovered his condition.
But he has defied all odds - and now he has just celebrated his first birthday.
Baby
Jaxon's devout Christian parents, Brandon and Brittany Buell, were told
by doctors that he had an extreme brain malformation, which meant he
would probably not survive the pregnancy.
But
Jax Strong – a nickname he has earned on social media - is now one
years old. His inspirational story has captivated families across the
U.S., with nearly 90,000 people 'liking' his page on Facebook and 18,000
people sharing his story.

His parents revealed the abuse they've received online as a result of their baby's condition earlier this month.
Brandon Buell spoken out about the abuse he's received after the inspirational story was shared on social media.

Buell's son Jaxon was given only days to live at birth because of a
rare neural-tube condition called Anencephaly seen while he was
developing in the womb.
News
of the child's miraculous survival was read by hundreds of thousands
after his first birthday in August, though some said that Brandon and
his wife Brittany were 'selfish' or should have aborted the child to
avoid the pain he will suffer.
Brandon
responded to the criticism in a heartfelt Facebook post Saturday night,
saying his wife and his decision to keep their son was 'our choice, and
only our choice'.
