Jaxon \u201cStrong\u201d Buell was born August 27, 2014, in Orlando, Florida to parents Brandon and Brittany Buell. He battles against microhydranencephaly, an extreme brain malformation that left him with 80 percent of his brain missing. Microhydranencephaly is a more complicated version of microcephaly, the birth defect thought to be linked to the Zika virus.<\/p>\n

Because of this incurable condition, his parents were told that he would not make it to the two year old mark, and doctors urged them to abort him. Yet baby Jaxon has passed the two year mark.<\/p>\n

Jaxon\u2019s daddy, Brandon, recently shared an update with TODAY documenting some of the recent success and setbacks with Jaxon\u2019s progress. Brandon writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We celebrate Jaxon\u2019s life every single day. We try to make it special for him. Whether reading a book in his room or cuddling on the couch together, it\u2019s the littlest thing, but for him, it\u2019s the world.<\/p>\n

Jaxon\u2019s situation is so uniquely different that there is no prognosis. No one knows what tomorrow will bring for him. We were told that he would not make it to 2-years-old and he passed it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
