SALISBURY TWP., Pa. -

Little Liam Nagy is a playful undeniable sweet and full of energy.

The mother's eyes say it all. This two-year-old is the light of their lives. But in the moments after Liam was born their world almost faded to darkness. "The three words I remembered were brain swelling, posturing and seizures, said Liam's mom, Jeanine Nagy.

Little Liam had sustained a brain injury at birth.

"There is not only a 50 percent chance of life, but 50 percent chance of disability," Jeanine said.

Their doctor told her about a brand new life-saving treatment at Lehigh Valley Hospital.

"I just got to hold his little finger and then he was gone," she said.

His little head was placed in this cooling cap. Doctors say it's one of the only non-evasive medical interventions that can reduce brain damage and improve an infant's chance of survival.

Nagy said it worked wonders for her baby. Liam is now a perfectly healthy 2-year-old.

"He has hit every mile stone," Jeanine said.
