Miracle as doctors reattaches toddler’s decapitated head to his body after

Mom Rylea Taylor said she was driving Jackson and the tot’s 9-year-old sister, Shane, when she crashed head-on into another vehicle last month.

Doctors expect 16-month-old Jackson Taylor to make a full recovery following the tedious six-hour surgery, Australia’s 7 News.

It was an internal decapitation – his head was not completely separated from his body.

The toddler could have died.

“The second I pulled him out, I knew his neck was broken”, said Rylea Taylor.

He said that Jackson’s condition was the worst injury of its kind that he’d seen. “And if they did and they were resuscitated, they may never move or breathe again”.

This might sound unbelievable, but it is real and considered a “miracle”: Doctors from a hospital in Brisbane, Australia, successfully reattached the head of a toddler to his neck after it was internally severed following a auto crash.

A hugely uplifting story, if you disregard the auto crash that put his life in danger in the first place, but is this also good news for the upcoming human head transplant? The operation involved reattaching his vertebrae using a piece of wire, then taking a piece of his rib to graft the two vertebrae together, according to Fox News. Jackson had to wear this for eight weeks, after which he can return to the hospital and have it removed.

His relieved mother Rylea Taylor aded: “It’s a miracle”. Specialist staff pulled off what was thought to be impossible.

Surgeon Geoff Askin and the team who assisted him on this case say that, once they remove the head brace, Jackson Taylor will go back to living a normal, healthy life.
