Original Toronto Star caption: Beating the odds: Joey Crocker, 10, the miracle kid, sits in his hospital bed, flanked by his father, Joe, and mother, Charlene. Joey, who fell through a plate-glass door six weeks ago and lost almost all his blood, has made a recovery that has amazed doctors, who feared he would be severely brain damaged.
