16-month old Jackson Taylor was a victim of a horrific car crash, during which his head was separated from his body.
The accident occurred as the car he was in collided with another one which was moving at a very fast speed of 70mph.
The toddler had to be rushed to the hospital, where spinal surgeon Dr Geoff Askin went to work trying to save the lif of the poor little boy.
Dr Askin and his team managed to reattach the head in an incredible surgery, lasting six hours.
“A lot of children wouldn’t survive that injury in the first place, and if they did and they were resuscitated then they may never move or breathe again.”, the surgeon said.
Jackson now has to wear headgear to keep his body in place, with his family calling it a ‘halo’. The halo is set to come off in eight weeks, after the healing process is complete, showing just how incredible modern medicine can be. He is expected to make a full recovery from the surgery and be just fine.
