Jaxon Buell was born without a large part of his skull and brain. Doctors told Brandon and Brittany Buell their son wouldn't live past a few weeks. In August, the family celebrated his first birthday.
After many months of tests and misdiagnoses, doctors finally diagnosed Jaxon with microhydranencephaly, a severe brain malformation for which there is no known cure.
Jaxon's short life has not been without struggle, and his parents' candid accounts on social media have garnered global attention.
In a September Facebook post, Brandon Buell explained the couple's decision to continue the pregnancy after learning at a 17-week untrasound their son had something wrong.
