captionPICS BY BRANDY JOHNSON / CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED: Tres in hospital being monitored by doctors) - A miracle boy born with the ultra-rare two face condition with only 36 cases worldwide has defied all odds to survive to teenage years. Tres Johnson from Bernie in Missouri, USA, celebrated his 13th birthday despite doctors giving him zero chance of survival at nearly every stage of his life. He has craniofacial duplication, a disorder caused by the SHH protein that alters the formation of the skull and face. Tres was born with a large cleft, his eyes spaced further apart, two separate nostrils, an abnormally shaped head, cognitive delays and he also suffers from seizures. Parents Brandy and Joshua continue to fight for their sons life while amazed doctors do not understand how he is alive as many with the condition are still born. Tres has undergone multiple operations to reshape his skull and close his cleft, as well as treat his seizures, which have reduced from 400 to 40-a-day since starting cannabis oil treatment. The family battle horrific abuse from strangers with people telling them to kill it and put him down. - SEE CATERS COPY
