Miracle Child

The Las Vegas Sun has a story on a child named Clanton Crumbley who recently celebrated his 9th birthday. Before he was born one doctor suggested abortion because of a rare genetic disorder and others suggested that Crumbleys leave Clanton at the hospital to die after his birth.

Along with hearing and sight and heart and kidney problems, Clanton has severe scoliosis, a curvature of the spine, and is working on improving his speech. He's still a happy-go-lucky kid who loves wrestling with his father and brother and walks down the hall at school high-fiving classmates.
