Boy Born Without Most Of His Brain Surprises Doctors By Growing It Back

The nurse stared at the scan in shock as she turned to the doctor. Everyone was dying to see what was on the scan but the nurse hadn’t given anyone else the chance to see yet. She seemed dazed, her shock surprising everyone in the room, even the doctor.

When someone called her name, she snapped back to reality. The doctor took the scan from her hands and suddenly, her reaction made perfect sense to him.

A Happy Family

Shelley and Rob Wall had a happy marriage. They lived an idyllic life in Cumbria in North West England with their two daughters.

They believed that they were good parents and that they had a lot of love to give. With such a great capacity to love, they decided that there was only one thing that they could do to give them peace of mind.

Another Child

After deciding that they wanted to have more children, Shelley successfully became pregnant. The pair were delighted at the prospect of another kid.

In a house full of girls, both Shelley and Rob wanted to have a son. For Rob, it would mean having a boy that he could bond with over football and sports that his daughters simply weren’t interested in. However, a trip to the doctor’s office put those dreams in doubt.

Scan Results

Trips to the hospital are regular occurrences during pregnancy. The health of both the mother and the baby need to be closely monitored.

Shelley and Rob didn’t need to have this explained to them. They had been through it twice before and felt comfortable with the experience. But something awaited them that they had never prepared for.

Bad News

The Walls’ comfort around doctors was conditional to previous experiences being good. This latest visit to the doctor wasn’t good. In fact, it was terrible. The baby boy in Shelley’s womb had an abnormality in his skull. It appeared as though he only had two percent of his brain.

And, despite the terrible news, Shelley and Rob decided what they wanted to do, right then and there.
