Boy With ‘1 in 10,000’ Birth Disorder Defies Odds: ‘I’m Not That Strong, I’m Just Brave’
A young Ohio boy who wasn’t expected to live past infancy has defied the odds. Now, at the age of 9, he is tackling life head-on and refuses to let anything hold him back.
Born preterm with a rare birth disorder, a severe cleft palate, and serious lung and heart issues, doctors predicted that Carson Locher didn’t have long to live.
Doctors didn’t expect Carson’s mother, Jessie Beals, to have a full-term pregnancy. Early on, they discovered a tear in her uterine wall and said she would likely miscarry, reported Fox News.
