9-Year-Old Given Slim Chance of Survival After Brain Bleed Makes ‘Miracle’ Recovery


(USTIMESPOST) – A soccer-mad boy barely surviving a brain hemorrhage looks forward to kicking a ball again after a ‘miraculous’ recovery.

Nine-year-old Alex Darracott was given a 20 percent chance of survival by surgeons when they found a blood clot the size of a walnut in his skull.

The boy, grandson of the late Everton defender Terry Darracott, had felt a sharp pain in his head before passing out and being taken to hospital.

He needed more than eight hours of surgery. CONTINUE
