Little Jackson&#8217;s chances of survival were slim. As a result of the crash, Taylor suffered an \u201cinternal decapitation\u201d meaning his head was severed from the spine underneath the skin.<\/p>\n<p>Paramedics rushed to the scene, and airlifted the little boy to a hospital in Brisbane, where he endured a six hour life-saving operation. Dr. Geoff Askin, Australia\u2019s \u201cgodfather of spinal surgery,\u201d headed the team of surgeons who carried out the complex operation. The procedure involved using a piece of wire along with part of Taylor\u2019s ribs to reattach the vertebrae.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson is now recuperating, but is expected to make a full recovery. Askin told Australian media that &#8220;a lot of children wouldn\u2019t survive that injury in the first place, and if they did and they were resuscitated then they may never move or breathe again.&#8221; Jackson&#8217;s recovery was nothing short of miraculous.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_6NOn8Dum3s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is Jackson Taylor.
