Young American Tres Johnson, who was born with a rare disease of the skull, is 13 years old. From birth, doctors predicted a quick death for the boy with two faces, but contrary to all forecasts, Johnson is on the mend. In the world, there are no more than 40 people with a similar ailment, reports Sun.
Johnson was born with a split head. The boy lags behind his peers in development and suffers from seizures. However, as a result of long-term treatment, the number of attacks Tres experiences per day has decreased from 400 to 40.

The boy's parents Brandy and Joshua continue to fight for Tres's life, although many doctors do not understand how Johnson managed to survive at all.
A young Missouri resident underwent several operations to repair a "cleft" in his skull. In addition, he regularly uses medical marijuana.
The boy's father says he will fight for his son to the end.

“You have no idea how much hatred we have to face every day. Many demand to isolate Tres from society or even put him to sleep. It's terrible, but we continue to calmly tell people about our son in the hope of enlightening them,”Joshua said.
“Our task is to give our son everything that is possible, but above all - love and support,” added the boy's father.
