After three weeks in ICU, the Dylan Johnson who emerged from heavy sedation was very much the eight\u002Dyear\u002Dold his loved ones knew.

At that time, eight-year-old Dylan Johnson was in a pediatric critical care bed in Mississippi with a bullet in his brain,, a very uncertain future ahead of him.Yazoo City, Miss., entered his frontal lobe and lodged in a part of the back of the brain responsible for mobility.

Part of the miracle, his family has been told, was the care Dylan received at the Yazoo City hospital he was first presented. There was also the unique nature of a child’s still-developing brain — Nadia was told an adult wouldn’t have survived — the same brain that will learn to live with the nine-millimetre bullet that, doctors determined, would be more dangerous to remove. Then there was the generosity of people who supported the family in various ways so they could focus on Dylan.

With the family living in a guesthouse on land owned by Ben’s parents near Yazoo City, Aidan was enrolled in a school there and liked it enough that the family decided to stay, finding a home for sale in the city’s historic district.
