I hope everything turns out well for the little dude. What happened to the other people in the wreck? There had to have been some fatalities!

The teenagers in the opposite car and his sister escaped with only minor injuries, his mom sustained more serious injuries but they've all fully recovered.

Amazing that he will be able to move...

Great post

Mom is really lucky his neck wasn't further injured when she moved him. It's hard to figure out what to do in a scene like that. What a little cutie!

That is one incredibly lucky bub.

Looks like he's in good spirits for even having that apparatus attached to his head...I hope he makes a full recovery.

That's a bit dramatic.

Yes, the neck was broken, but there are many muscles, veins and a couple tubes that are connecting the head to the body.

When you get a complete break in the arm or leg bone, do you call it an internal amputation? No, you don't. There are still muscles and tendons that hold the appendage on.

Agreed on all counts. Internal decapitation is really more of a description for what happens in an Atlanto-Occipital distraction (or dislocation), and almost always results in death. While I do feel it's a fair assessment if the person dies, it's not a fitting description if they live, as decapitation is a term universally used to indicate death.

Yeah, they literally have been working on brain transplants too (no shit). That will give hope to quiet a few people I know.
