A miraculous story is going viral about a medical case that doctors are describing as one of the “top ten recoveries of all time.”

Dylan Askin is a toddler who was first rushed to the hospital from his home in Shelton Lock, England around Christmas back in 2015. It was then that doctors told his parents that one of Dylan’s lungs had collapsed entirely and 80% of the surface area was covered in cysts.

Dylan was diagnosed with pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, an extremely rare form of lung cancer that affects only one-in-ten-million people. As he fought for his life, Dylan developed bacterial pneumonia and fell into a coma.

Three months later, doctors said that it was not looking good for Dylan at all, and his parents resigned themselves to losing their little boy. They finally made the gut-wrenching decision to take him off life support on the holy day known to Christians as Good Friday.

“They told us things were looking bleak and that we weren’t going to get him back,” Dylan’s mother Kerry said. “All the settings on all the machines were at their highest and he was still struggling. We had him christened, all his family came from all over to say goodbye, including his big brother.”

Right when doctors were getting ready to shut off the machines, however, Dylan’s heart rate returned to normal and his parents immediately told the doctors to wait. Sure enough, Dylan was not giving up! He even recovered so much in the next two days that he was sent home on Easter Sunday!

Dylan is now 4 years-old and he is fully recovered from cancer in what his parents and doctors called, “an Easter miracle”.

“I am not massively religious, but I did think it was a miracle,” said Kerry. “When we told our eldest son, he said ‘he’s like Jesus’—rising from the dead.”
