"To hear [that] his brain's almost back to normal is beyond belief. 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. Every time we see the doctors, they just shake their head. They're just amazed at what he can do." – Shelly Wall

(The UK) — [LifeSiteNews] At three months gestation Shelly Wall and her husband Rob learned the devastating news no parent wants to hear. Doctors told them their preborn baby boy Noah had several health problems including spina bifida, chromosome abnormalities, and hydrocephalus. They said Noah only had 2% of his brain tissue and would likely die at or before birth. The couple was advised to abort their son. (Photo Credit: via LifeSiteNews.com)

They refused.

Four years later, Noah is doing remarkably well and has been featured in a new U.K. documentary.

"We were offered termination five times," Rob Wall said in the documentary, "The Boy Without a Brain." "It was never an option for us. To me, we wanted to give Noah that chance of life."

Doctors had made such a strong case that Noah would die at birth that the couple planned a funeral for their son before he was even born. But to their great joy, after Noah was born on March 6, 2012, he let out a cry.

Noah was paralyzed from the chest down, but to his parents that didn't matter. All that mattered was that he was alive.

"The first thing we heard when he was born was him taking a breath and then crying, which was unbelievable," recalled Shelly Wall.

Surgery was performed on Noah's back which had a large hole in it. He also had a drain placed in his head to clear the cerebro-spinal fluid that was pressing on his brain. Noah was sent home, but would return to the hospital on numerous occasions due to medical complications. Still, the little boy continued to not only survive, but also to prove doctors wrong.

Noah uses both a wheelchair and braces to get around…but get around he does. Plus, not only does he sing, talk, and smile, but his brain has been expanding.
