MIRACLE BABY SAVED BY SUPERGLUE

A miracle baby has overcome a one-in-five-million brain condition – after a blob of glue saved his life. Using a revolutionary technique just weeks after his birth, doctors used SUPERGLUE to plug a leak in five-month-old Jack Jones’ brain that would have killed him if left untreated. Now the tot has made a full recovery and is back at home with his parents in Merseyside. Jack was diagnosed with Vein of Galen Malformation, in August after health visitor Louise Southward noticed the circumference of his head was 43.2cm, 2cm bigger than an average baby.
