A 2-year-old boy in England awoke from a coma just as his family was turning off life support. Two years later and he’s free of an extremely rare form of cancer after a gut-wrenching series of ordeals.

The ordeals started on Christmas Day 2015. Dylan Askin was taken to the hospital with collapsed lungs. Doctors found that cysts had burst and starved his organs of oxygen, but they were not sure what had caused the condition. They diagnosed him with pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, an extremely rare condition, according to The Telegraph.
