A little boy with cysts the size of a grapefruit on his face has defied the odds to take his first steps - despite the weight of his head making it hard for him to walk and balance. Alex Grabowski was born in January 2017 with cystic hygroma - a collection fluid-filled sacs known as cysts - on his face and in his airways and the tot has faced eight operations to reduce the growths - each taking a mammoth eight hours. Single mum Emily Grabowski, 35, found out Alex, now four, had cystic hygroma at her 20-week scan. Video compilation*
