Science: Toddler Internally Decapitated is Healed

Head and neck pulled apart from a car crash, the child will survive, and may not feel any permanent damage. The doctor used a piece of wire and the toddler's rib to graft it. We can really do anything.

Yea, personal phobia about spinal injury.

I'll just upvote without watching on the basis of the happy prognosis.

Kthxbye.

Ahhh. No spinal chord separation, so not a total internal decapitation. Amazingly lucky in many ways, but not the miracle I thought the title implied.

I saw a documentary about a similar thing in a 11 or 12 year old boy, hit by a car riding his bike. A year on, he had recovered remarkably well. I figured this would result in a guaranteed quadriplegia, but he could walk and run and use his hands (he could write) and it was pretty amazing. I figure this kid will do better because he's at the age where you're learning to do that stuff from scratch anyways.
