JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — After their two month old daughter Abigail was found to have a brain tumor, Erika and Stephen Jones were told to take her home and love her.
Instead they took her to Boston. Now, they're taking her home cancer-free.
"They prepared us for her to die in the womb. They prepared us for her to die during birth or immediately after, or they also said she could live a while," said Erika Jones.

Doctors in Jacksonville told Erika and Stephen Jones their baby had an inoperable brain tumor.
"We planned her funeral. We knew what funeral home we were taking her to. Knew what we were going to do with her ashes," said Erika Jones.
They made plans, but they held out hope. Instead of giving up, they gave it one more try, taking Abigail to Boston, where a brain surgeon was not only able to operate on Thursday, but now said the tumor is likely benign.
"She's a miracle. Every child that's born is a miracle -- she's had a little more of a bumpy road and a saga, an amazing story, but she's a miracle," said Stephen Jones.
