Doctors reattach toddler’s head after internal de-capitation in 6-hour operation

A 16-month-old toddler, who had his neck severed after a horrific auto crash will miraculously walk again after undergoing groundbreaking surgery that reattached his head to his spine.

A 16- month old baby’s head was successfully re- attached to its spine after it got internally decapitated due to vehicular accident.

Video shows him happy and walking around with his mother at home.

Jaxon Taylor was riding in a vehicle driven by his mother, Rylea, in September when it was struck by another vehicle at 70 miles per hour. He said that many children would not have survived this kind of injury, or even if they did, they would have never become able to move or breathe again without help.

The brace will also allow the child’s nerves and tissues connecting his neck and body to fully heal.

Jaxon Taylor was airlifted from the site of the crash in New South Wales to Brisbane where he was seen by Australia’s “godfather” of spinal surgery, Dr. Geoff Askin.

He was taken to a hospital in Brisbane where doctors used a fragment of one of his ribs to graft his severed vertebrae together. Her nine-year-old daughter Shayne suffered abdominal injuries.

“A lot of children wouldn’t survive that injury in the first place,” Askin told 7 News in Melbourne.

But the boy seems to be making a remarkable recovery, kicking a balloon, laughing and hugging his parents.

The messages of support from around the world have humbled the Taylor family.

“He’s extremely heavy duty and really determined”, his mum Rylea Taylor said.

Channel Seven confirmed the Taylor family have launched an online petition to campaign for harsher penalties for reckless drivers in Australia, which has already received thousands of signatures.

An 18-year-old NSW man will face court over Jaxon’s accident next month on multiple charges.
