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.

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.
