When Noah Wall was born, the doctors said he probably wouldn’t survive and if he did, he would be severely physically and developmentally disabled. Born with only 2 percent of his brain to a family in Cumbria, England, Noah had no hope — at least according to the doctors.
In utero, Noah had developed a rare complication of spina bifida where his skull filled with fluid, crushing his brain down into a “thin sliver of tissue,” according to the UK’s Mirror. His parents — Shelly and Rob — were advised to abort him on five occasions. They refused. After Noah’s birth, an open wound in his back was closed and a shunt was installed to drain the fluid from his brain.
Shelly and Rob picked out a baby coffin for Noah, but they also never stopped believing he was anything less than a great gift. They took him home and the entire family surrounded him constantly with love, affection, and 24-7 care. Noah’s brain began to grow. And grow. And grow some more.
When he was 3, a brain scan showed that his brain “had expanded to 80% of a normal brain.” Now a movie on Britain’s Channel 5 called The Boy Who Grew A Brain documents just how far Noah has come.
ht/ hope rewarded
God bless this little boy.
Miracles do happen.
God bless the parents.
Damn it’s dusty here.
That’s a wonderful miracle!!!
From time to time God will step in for reasons only he can fathom. This is a miracle and a very special blessed young person.
SOOOO there is still hope for Nancy Pelosi?
all joking aside this is a wonderful story and yet another reason why we need to fight the “assisted suicide” and “death with dignity” crowd. you never know what wonders G~d has in store for someone who is all to willingly written off by some people.
I cannot fathom a medical doctor telling parents to kill off their children just because they are imperfect. Anyway, Noah sounds like he IS PERFECT to me. Bravo to the love of his parents.
If Obama had his way the boy would’ve wound up in some hospital hall closet. The left takes such a cheap view of life, with the exception of their own of course.
A miracle.
No thanks to britains socialized medicine.
Where would the kid go if we had that here?
He is one of God’s children.
