This baby was given days to live but with a little faith from his parents he turns out to defy the standards.
Miracle Baby With Fractured Skull Defies Doctor's Expectations And Lives
#1 Born with most of his brain and skull missing, Jaxon proved how wrong doctors can be.
Diagnosed with anencephaly which is a neural tube birth defect wasn't given much time to live by his doctors.
#2 Jaxon visits Boston with his parents.
Brandon aged 30 and Brittany aged 27 were given the option to terminate the pregnancy at 23 weeks but the couple who is against abortion decided to go ahead with the pregnancy despite the unpredictable conditions.
#3 The parents attend a friend's wedding in July, in Jupiter, Florida.
Jaxon was delivered via a c-section. After monthly hospital visits, a two month scare of constant seizures, uncontrollable screaming, feeding tubes, the couple were finally able to get a true diagnosis called microhydranencephaly. With new medicine and support the couple are treating their newborn.

Brandon said, "It was very emotional. I remember holding him on day two and listening to the doctors say my son would probably never walk, never talk, never know when he's hungry, or never hear or see. They really did not expect him to make it."
Britanny and Brandon still wake up to the thought that Jaxon may not be there the next day.
Brittany said, "It is always in the back of my mind. I'm very aware that today maybe his last day. I'm aware tomorrow he may not be here."
"I try to stay positive 99 per cent of the time but there is that 1 per cent because I know the reality of the situation - that we're probably going to outlive him."

The couple live on just one salary. Brandon's work colleagues then helped setup a GoFundMe page to support Jaxon's expensive medical care and treatment Since then nearly $55,000 has been raised and the support for the couple has grown each day.
