Current Event – 10-9-2015

“Baby born without a complete skull defies the odds,” is an article published on CNN news, dated October 2, 2015.
The article about this baby is on topic of health, and the journey of his life with his diagnosis that has no known cure at this time.
Jaxon Buell, born without a big part of his skull and brain, was not expected by doctors to live more than a few weeks. Defying the odds, Jacob just recently celebrated his first birthday. Buell’s parents learned of the concerns for their baby when they had a 17-week ultrasound. The couple went forward with the pregnancy rather than choosing abortion. After months and months of tests to see what may be wrong, and a few misdiagnoses, the family learned that Jax has Micro Hydranencephaly, which has no cure.
This event doesn’t affect me physically, but rather mentally. I think this would trigger caring emotions for anyone that may indulge in this story. I feel a sense of sadness, but also joy got the life of this little human. With this generation’s technological abilities, I believe that perhaps a cure should be further looked into. This event, though brings sadness , also brings hope. This baby, smaller than both you and me fought against all odds and continues to, and leads a life, not much different than other kids his age.
CNN says, “The parents know Jaxon will need a miracle in the long term, but are taking each day as it comes and relying on faith to help them through.” This brings a sense of hope for anyone in the world that may have this happen to their child in the future. Possibilities of world impact rely on treatments being looked for, also not yet found. Many people refrain from realizing that this is a possibility for anyone , and often take for granted the blessings that they do have in life, frequently including being the cause of a human life; having their own child. I comprehend that this should be more important to individuals everywhere, and a cure should be further looked for.
