To the delight of his parents and the amazement of his doctors, a now four year-old boy who was born with only two percent of his brain continues to thrive.

The Christian News Network is reporting on the amazing story of Noah Wall of Cumbria, UK, who was born in 2012. During the pregnancy, his mother, Shelly Wall, was told that he had spina bifida, chromosome abnormalities and hydrocephalus. Because he was not expected to survive, doctors repeatedly recommended abortion.

“We were offered termination five times,” Rob Wall recalled in a new documentary entitled The Boy Without a Brain which aired in the UK earlier this week. “It was never an option for us. To me, we wanted to give Noah that chance of life.”

Just in case, the Walls made funeral arrangements prior to Noah’s birth, but they weren’t needed. Their son was born alive on March 6, 2012, and his parents were grateful just to hear his first cry.

With fear of death stalking them at every moment, they were told that their son was paralyzed from the chest down and would need surgery to close a large hold in his back. He also had only two percent of brain tissue with the rest of his skull filled with cerebrospinal fluid.

Incredibly, Noah began to progress much like other toddlers as time went on – talking and singing and cooing at his parents.

Four years have passed since then and doctors were recently stunned to discover that Noah’s brain has grown substantially and is now nearly fully functional.

“We’ve had three years not knowing how long he’s going to live, so to hear his brain’s almost back to normal is beyond belief,” Shelly Wall states in the documentary. “Rob and I broke down when we heard the news. It was like a dream. I’ve never known anything like it. Even the consultants were in tears.”

She added: “Every time we see the doctors, they just shake their head. They’re just amazed at what he can do.”

However, it’s not over for him yet.

“We know he will face more surgery,” Shelly said. “But he is such a remarkable little boy who has already come so far.”

The case is so phenomenal that a documentary was made about it.

“They say we only use a small part of our brain, but Noah has had to learn how to use all of what little brain he was born with,” a description of the documentary reads in part.

“But that’s not all he’s done. Over the past year he has done something even more remarkable—his brain has appeared to grow back.”

Noah has defied the odds time and time again – and all because his parents chose life!
