When little Oscar Williams was just three months old he was diagnosed with a very rare condition which caused the bones in his skull to prematurely fuse together before his brain was fully formed. If left untreated it can lead to many serious complications including a deformed head, seizures, and increased pressure on his brain.
Now, ahead of his first birthday, the ever-smiling tot is set to undergo an operation at Birmingham Children's Hospital in the hope of fixing his misshapen skull and improving his quality of life. Despite everything he has been through in his short life Oscar's family say he has taken it all in his stride.
His mum Jessica Crook said: "Oscar is the most happy, funny, cheeky chappy. He is absolutely thriving in life and you honestly wouldn't think there was anything going on with him. We are beyond proud of him and he just makes everyone happy who is around him. He really is an inspiration."
