🥺💙 DOCTORS DIDN’T EXPECT HIM TO SURVIVE — BUT OWEN GAVE HIS FAMILY SEVEN BEAUTIFUL YEARS 🌈🕊️

At a routine pregnancy scan, Tom and Jessica Masterson learned that their baby’s skull and brain were developing very differently.

Further testing revealed that their son had acalvaria, an extremely rare condition in which the flat bones forming the upper part of the skull are absent. Doctors warned the family that he might not survive birth. 💔🙏

After having previously experienced a miscarriage, Tom and Jessica chose to continue the pregnancy.

Then, on September 13, 2017, their son Owen Matthew Masterson was born alive — and crying. 🥹💙

Owen went home with his family and bechttps://us.gymroomathome.com/86581/ame a beloved little brother to Ryleigh. He could not walk or speak in the usual way, and his condition meant that his family had to take special care to protect him.

But Owen’s life was about far more than his diagnosis.

He smiled. He laughed. He enjoyed being with his family. And when his little brother Judah was born in 2021, his parents described the joy Owen showed around the new baby. 👶💗

For his family, every extra day with Owen was a gift.

His story was also documented by volunteer pH๏τographers from On Angels’ Wings, preserving precious memories of a little boy whose life had already exceeded what doctors had expected. 🌷✨

Owen lived for seven years — far beyond the prognosis his family had first been given.

Sadly, on September 13, 2024, his seventh birthday, Owen pᴀssed away at Mercy Hospital in Springfield. 🕊️💔

His life was medically extraordinary, but to the people who loved him, Owen was never simply a rare diagnosis.

He was a son. A brother. A little boy who smiled, laughed and brought love into his family’s life.

Seven years may not have been the lifetime his parents once dreamed of, but every one of those years became part of a story they will carry with them forever. 💙🌈🕊️
