He’s so cute! And those cheeks! I wanna pinch them. God bless the Buells.
American men really have to take back the baby-naming job.
Not to compare the extremes, but to make a point, I had a head injury seven years ago. Just last year one aspect of the damage healed. That was SIX years later. My typing went from 16wpm for a number of years back to almost 100wpm, like before.
The brain is amazing and I hope neuroplasticity helps this child have a great and wonderful life, realizing the seriousness of his illness.
Plus he is only a year+ old, and technology is moving at lightning speed. Chip implants to help him along? maybe, in the future?
Certainly many trials ahead for the child and family, but hopefully their capacity to love (and our prayers) will see them through.

I’m proud of yinz!
Cute.
But entirely unfair to this child. Demonicrats were gifted at birth with fully functioning brains ... and chose to do evil with them.
This child's problems are not his own fault.
Aren’t they going to put something in his head to make a skull? His head looks so vulnerable to injury like that.
He may be too young for that.
I have a relative who had a massive stroke. She has slowly recovered her ability to speak (with some limitations, including memory) and although paralyzed on one side, can also walk with an assist, do limited household chores and continue some church activities, including singing. Her husband says that scans have shown “half her brain is just gone.”
Doctors have tsked and assumed the family would put her in a home. Instead, her husband set up home care for the first couple of years and then cameras so he can watch her from work, and her extended family rallies around to take her on errands or for entertainment. She carries on loving family members, making phone calls, writing notes, planning get-togethers, laughing at the right places in movies, taking care of the family pets and generally being the same loving self she always was (but didn’t have as much time to be) when she was a powerhouse workaholic.
I’m not saying it’s been easy. But it’s been a blessing. She has lived to see both her children marry and have children of their own. Although she can’t care for the grandchildren, she does relate to them lovingly when they come by the house, and they to her.
Life. It’s not ours to dispose of carelessly.
I thought it was funny. It wasn't directed at the child. The OffenseMobile makes its rounds and more and more people jump on.
Sometimes God creates and sometimes God takes. We cannot understand why someone is born challenged or why a life may be taken “too early” in our view or in a tragic way. Why did she die of cancer? Why was he shot and killed? Why were they born so gifted? Why are they rich and famous?
The truth is that we are all to small to understand what the Creator has done many times. My view is that God does things many times because those things are for the people that are affected by the event. In this case the child has touched the parents and those around him and taught them things they would never have learned. God also brought to us the people that had the gifts to invent the technology that can tell this child’s story to the rest of us using what you are looking at right now.
Beautiful eyes. God given.
That would be my guess.
Bump worthy.
That's what I'm thinking. When he's 18 and Six Three and 210. I'm sure Riddell will be honored to make him a helmet.
I’m overwhelmed! I had thought anencephaly invariably resulted in death shortly after birth. Seeing that precious little boy’s eyes and smile, and hearing that he’s more than a year old, made my heart leap for joy. There is no question that he is fully a person and that he is not in chronic pain. Thank you, Lord, for putting him among us. He is a gift not just to his parents, but to all of us!
I am sure he has a skull. That condition damages neural development and not bones. The shape of the skull has just compacted in to match the shape of what is inside.
“And with beautiful blue eyes.”
Those eyes are striking. He might not have much of his brain but what is there is clearly very active. You can see it in his eyes.
Yes, you can.
moistened eyes in cubicle at work... God - bless this little guy in his life. Please Father. He is much more than a sparrow.
Wow
Poor thing
God love him
