Noah is one of the miracles in the world of modern-day medicine who is surprising doctors every day.
Noah was not meant to be born since his parents were advised to terminate the pregnancy at 5 different times and they were absolutely devastated but Noah’s parents went on to keep him.
As early as 12 weeks into the pregnancy during a scan, they identified there was a problem with Noah's development and had to go get the doctor for verification. Noah's parents were confused about why they had to consult with the doctor when they could see their baby on the screen and seem fine.
Then subsequently Noah's mother had to go through an MRI scan and a lot of scans to make sure of Noah's condition. They found that there are serious complications in his brain. The diagnosis result showed Noah had a Porencephalic Disruptive Cyst condition that destroys the brain.
Doctors believed that Noah would not survive and had issued a non-resuscitation order which means Noah will not be made to breathe if he doesn't breathe.
Noah's parents went through a harrowing experience when they had to plan for his funeral before he was born as they do not want to lose any time whatever little that they get to be with him after he is born.
Noah not only proved the doctors that they were wrong but also kept up his parents faith. Noah's condition has improved greatly as he grows and also his parents are determined to fulfill all his dreams.

kids brains are pretty resilient but I didn't know they could be *that* resilient
Right!
If the doctor says no Brain, then no brain.
I've got hydrocephalus water on the brain. I found out when I was 35 years old. I was never shunted.i graduated high school, drive,have a daughter. I also had a stroke at 7 months old.
Have a wonderful life ❤️👍
Good for you I’m so happy your a water head
That's such an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing that. Love from the US! Keep up the good work!! ❤️
@Jesse Medley dude what the fuck
Built to last.
I remember seeing a documentary about Noah if my memory serves me right. His parents are incredible as well as his sister and they work with him daily. They use every task as a learning tool and his case is being taught and studied by neurology students.
Such an incredible family and boy
He's definitely the product of a heck of a lot of very hard work done tirelessly.
He's also very obviously a very happy person who deserves the world.
I can just imagine how much has been learned from him & how much he has changed the life of other people in helping them.
I think they were a family on DIY sos.
@@Nirrrina absolutely 💚
@@ellehan3003 I don’t believe I have heard of that show. I remember that beautiful face just not the name of the doc. I can’t forget that sweet smile and I’m sure you can’t either.
Do you remember the name of the documentary?
This brought me to tears when I saw the brain had grown so much. They just loved him and nurtured him. Helped him learn things and his brain grew!!! What a miracle!
My causing was born with hydrocephaly, he only has one hemisphere of his brain, he managed to go to school, high school, get a collage degree get married and he now has two children, his IQ is normal, the side effects is that he needs medication to control random epilepsy episodes, but aside from that he lives such a normal life that we easily forget he only has half a brain. Miracles exist.
Brains are pretty awsome. The more we learn, the cooler it gets.
Kids brains are amazingly resilient! I read a study about how kids who had hemispectomies (excuse the spelling) to relieve epilepsy symptoms, which involved removing one of the hemispheres, completely regained all brain function, effectively relearning anything they lost using a different part of the brain. It’s absolutely amazing how awesome the brain is especially with kids!
Absolutely!
That’s amazing!
@@hannahbatt-rawden6143 wow, do you know what this study was called? I’d love to read about it!
My aunt was born with severe brain damage. My grandparents didn't have any familial support (both were Holocaust survivors, and none of their parents survived, my grandma lost all of her siblings, and my grandpa lost half of his), and since it was the 50s/60s, there was very little research and knowledge on how to deal with these kinds of things (i.e. brain damage, autism, etc). They also had 5 other children making it even harder to care for her, so she spent her time in a mental hospital. She passed away at 27, and I am named after her (my middle name). It makes me so happy to see how much medicine and knowledge of these types of birth defects has grown so that people like Noah can grow up to live happy, fulfilling lives. I'd like to think that if my aunt was born in today's day and age she would have survived.
Noah seems like an amazing, smart, and wonderful boy. His smile and energy is contagious, and he has amazing, wonderful, and loving parents.
Yeah, back in the day such children were instutionalized and the parents encouraged to visit rarely.
They had terrible quality of life because the carers didn't really know what to do becides keeping them clean and fed.
Now all those kids are at home, parents have support of specialusts and other special needs parents and there are special schools and camps for those kids.
@@d-meth Yeah, that's exactly what it was like for my aunt. My grandparents visited her every weekend, but I know they wished they had had the opportunities of today.
Fellow spinabifida person, and fellow patient of the Neuro team at the RVI!
My son met you, Noah, when he was part of a Razzamataz fundraiser.
We both think you are fantastic. xx
Thank you for sharing and love to you both❤️
Me having no idea a brain could regrow-
It's called neurogenesis and it happens all the time. It's more efficient in babies because they have more stem cells floating around in their blood. Stem cells are the precursor to any cell in the body (including brain and nerve cells). My mom who is only 61 has dementia and I want to get her stem cell treatment where they inject you with fetal stem cells to repair damaged tissue in the body. I'm hoping she'll grow a ton of new brain cells after the treatment.
Me being so stupid that there barely is a brain
@@paulawolanski3237
I hope the treatment improves her condition!
@@Walpurgisnacht. thank you. I hope so too
@@paulawolanski3237 I've heard and read really good things about those treatments I hope the best for her
I believe the most heartbreaking thing a parent could go through is losing a child before it is born. I’m thrilled to to hear Noah is doing so well, what a blessing!
Even though I didn't get much when I was a child, I can easily recognize love when I see it. Noah is thriving due to that love I believe.
You deserved better than the hand you were dealt.
That is some talent he has there. Growing his brain like that. Big future ahead of him. He is clearly one of those special people.
How incredible that he can do as much as he can! Brains have an incredible capacity to grow and regenerate.
Yeah....in My era we were taught that the brain doesn’t have re growing cells..so...........l guess the experts were wrong.....
We all for too long have believed that anything published is truth.....and it’s clearly not....
The stimulation that his loving family provides helps it to grow. The real heroes...
that's because it's very different for babies but if course we always knew their brains grow, but this is on another level
@@thecleanercurtis4370 they still teach that.. The spinal cord and the brain do not contain those types of regenerative cells. This is such a rare case that I haven't found another one like it. There aren't any documented. There's an older documentary on noah. It describes better all the stimulation therapy his family does with him.
@@luxie2155 nothing documented as the so called experts aren’t willing to publish their mistakes......clearly.
I respect your input....don’t believe everything you read......ie.......the bible.......
What a blessing! Our son was born prematurely. He had a MASSIVE brain bleed, atleast 25% of his brain was lost and yet he also has a quality of life that no one can explain. God is good!
Beautiful story of faithful and courageous parents and their young son who is now thriving. Thanks for posting it.
It's amazing that his brain has grown so much - I think his parents are doing so well giving him experiences that use and develop different parts of his brain. It will be interesting if his brain ends up with a structure similar to what most humans have or if it will be something unique to him. I suppose different parts will specialise for different tasks but that is really just speculation. However his brain grows he is definitely an inspiration and I wish him all the best.
He’s precious. Amazing loving parents. God bless you Noah. He certainly has a purpose for you.
I saw a documentary on this little blonde miracle years ago. I wondered what happened to him. I am thrilled how beautifully he's progressing. His mom deserves a massive well done!! 💜💜💜
These titles are so misleading. He wasn't born 'without' a brain; he always HAD his entire brain. It was compressed due to the extreme hydrocephalus and, once that was resolved, expanded to fill the space.
I been saying this for years. It was there but his CSF fluid was covering it.
Not how it works, hydrocephalus ≠ porencephaly, it's not the same thing. Hydrocephalus is a generalised cerebrospinal fluid buildup around all the 'usual' structures and results in increased head circumference as it pushes the skull bones apart. This child has porencephaly, which is a focal cyst that would have compressed all the developing brain structures but it seems his head wasn't enlarged. I'd be dubious about the 2% claim too because that's not what it looks like on any of these scans, but it's not at all the same as hydrocephalus. So what probably happened was that once he was born and his head/brain grew, the structures largely 'renewed' themselves because newborns have crazy neuroplasticity. Also, there is no such thing as CSF 'covering' and concealing parts of the brain on a scan - the whole point of a scan is to see thought all of the structures, and CSF looks completely different to solid neuronal tissue.
They don’t know that, it is just one theory
The title says he had 2% of his brain
He is so sweet! You are doing things all parents should do for their children. You believe in him! And you see him as the gift he is.💕
This is an inspiring story for those folks who do not know what can happen when they are pregnant and receive bad news. Thank you for sharing.
My Nana was a foster mom for medically fragile children for 20+ years and one time she had a child that sadly when he was born his mother and father left him at the hospital and got up and walked away. He was born with just a brain stem. We all know what that means and he was not given very much hope. He was so smart and my Nana had me go to Walmart with her because anytime I spoke to him he would just laugh and laugh and laugh and my Nana said please go with me so I can get some pictures of him smiling. To hear this story makes me remember him and I hope he’s doing just as well as Noah is.
My son was beaten by his biological father at two months old and he had such a severe brain bleed that they had let us know that his frontal lobe was dead. Later when my son was about four I believe we went and had them do some more tests and scans on his brain and miraculously they discovered that part of his brain that should not control the frontal lobe or emotions and everything the frontal lobe controls had extra activity because it was doing what the frontal lobe should do. Our brains and bodies are amazing and what is known now about our bodies and our brains is just the tip of the iceberg and doctors only know what they read and are taught but because there’s so much that is unknown there really are things that can’t be predicted.
You can really see the love he is given reflected in his conversation with his parents at the end, it truly gives me hope.
He is a miracle child, the family ‘s tender love is curing him ! May Jehovah bless him and his family ❤️❤️❤️❤️
How anyone can dislike this video is beyond my comprehension. This story is incredible and I’m so thankful I’ve been educated on this disease & got to listen to Noah’s story! ❤️
I didn't dislike the vid, but I can imagine that this isn't a topic that interests everyone. Sometimes I also just dislike a video for the sake of not getting content like that again. It's not meant as hate but just to 'teach'(?) the algorithm what I don't want to see. Though I'm not saying there's no people who dislike just to spread hate. There certainly are many who do that. I'm just saying it's not always like that. Maybe that makes you feel better. Maybe not. Just wanted to say it.
Probably thinks it was fake
They believed in him from day one! That’s a lesson to us all.
How has his brain grown? I have never heard of something like this before, usually these type of case with severe brain damage or loss seem to be pretty much hopeless even if it's a baby. What an incredible little boy and parents.
It was compressed, so it was not really missing
It is actually newly discovered medical knowledge that braincells can be generated at any age.
@@tundevirag755 Honestly its not that new, yes, we do have neogenesis of neurons to some extent, but not to this extent.
Yes so basically everything was there, his skull was ready. Its just that his brain couldn't grow because of the fluid build up so once the fluid was taken care of, his brain just grew as planned. It was never damaged it was just delayed in growth.
I have been following this amazing little boy since it was aired on UK TV.. ( amazing family... so much love)
Stalker much?
@@prophecy8652 just stop trolling 🤦
I'm from United States...
Noah is a precious miracle Angel baby!😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Yes! God's hand is certainly on him! God loves proving people WRONG. Praise God for this child's amazing life!
Kids are resilient, they can heal amazingly fast and have far better odds at survival than adults in most circumstances.
This shows the power of brain stimulation. It applies to ALL babies. Amazing parents and amazing Noah.
What an amazing miracle child. The brain is amazing too, but this kid is such a delight in himself.
What an incredible young man! His smile lights up the screen! Thank you for sharing your story Noah!! 😁
Oh my goodness, you have made my day Noah, Thank you for all your hard work (& Mummy & Daddy’s too) x
I am so glad that they didn't have the pregnancy terminated. He is a wonderful health y boy.
What a fine young boy 👍🏻 and honourable parents. He is thriving, smiling and looks always happy. May you be blessed with health and faith as you go on little one 👍🏻👍🏻💙💜❤️💚
Beautiful little boy, his parents are so dedicated, and he is just a happy boy. I hope he continues to thrive.
What a precious little boy! This is amazing!
That's beautiful. Absolutely wonderful. What a miracle. May his development continue to unfold with God's grace.
What an amazing young man with extriodinary parents! God bless!
May God bless them all and thank him for such amazing parents for this georgous boy😊 ❤️
His parents should teach parenting classes. Amazing parents. Incredible that they withstood the pressure to terminate and kept him-we never would have known his patients all without that decision.
The first few years and the plasticity of the brain can not be emphasized enough.
What a darling boy and clever parents!
The love of parents is beyond anything science can ever understand.
Such an intelligent and inspiring little boy 💯🙏May God continue blessing him. His story is such a blessing.
That kid is a walking miracle.
Growing up I spent alot of time in and out of hospitals due to an accident I was in. One of the hospitals I was in we had a child there who was born with I'm thinking only enough brainstem to live. He was always smiles. I don't know what happened to him but his mom was such a wonderful woman
Geez. This kid is going to be able to do everything he wants. So determined, intelligent and unique!
This brung me so much joy to see how amazing he is progressing. Wonderful family. He's an absolute credit to his family, and his parents are a credit to him ❤
WOW this is such a heartfelt story thank you so much for sharing your gift from God 🙏🙏 he's absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️
Wow your boy is amazing what a miracle. I’m so happy that he’s thriving and happy. I wish your family all the best❤
May your story inspire and provide comfort to everyone! Praise the Lord for His healing.
God bless Noah and his parents. They never gave up on him. We live in a throw-away, selfish culture. This family is exceptional.
Such a wonderful heartwarming story! This is what I've needed to hear! Blessings.
My daughter was born with only a brain stem and a small sliver at the back and this video gives me a lot of hope for her
Amazing parents!! God bless this child and his beautiful family!!
Faith conquers all.
Your abundant faith got you here. You did not give up on Noah.
What an incredible story!!! Y'all are amazing and he is so cute and full of spirit!!! Best wishes of good health and happiness to y'all!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
So glad they chose LIFE for their baby....and I have no doubt that God has blessed them for that.
♥️
God doesn’t exist
What a lovely little boy bless him he is here to help others . Noble Noah x
Wow! What a beautiful miracle boy. God bless you. 💝
Such an incredible kid, wish him the best
Hi Shelley and Noah (and dad) so lovely to see this video, and put faces to names. (I’m from rebelz) sending you love and hugs, was amazing to watch Noah. He’s such a gorgeous lad, inside and out 😍🥰
They really should have added that neural tube defects are easily preventable. We need to increase awareness. Also, what a wonderful family and a miraculous story!
If women trying to conceive could all take Folic Acid every day, that'd be great. My grandma didn't know and didn't; my aunt was born with Spina Bifida and died as an infant.
My mum did take it after reading about it in New Scientist in the early 90s, I tested positive for SB in utero, but because of the folic acid, I was only born with a miniscule sinus and mild spinal deformities. My legs are a little tight, I have no feeling in all but my big toes and I get backache, but it's a hell of a lot better than life in a wheelchair, or worse.
@@bigboredthing I think nowadays there's a lot more awareness, my gynecologist told me that I should schedule an appointment before trying to conceive, so when the time came that my partner and I were ready I went in for an appointment and she told me to start taking folic acid and to take it for a full month before we started trying, and to continue taking it indefinitely until I gave birth. My friends all started taking folic acid as soon as they started trying to conceive, too. It's such a simple way to prevent important birth defects. I'm sorry you can't feel your legs!
May Allah Almighty make him and all of his creatures like him normal and healthy and Also protect all of his creatures including me from all types of diseases, syndromes, deficiency and incidents through out the whole life and afterwards as well..... آمین ثم آمین یا رب اللعالمین یا ارحم الراحمین
This is just amazing! Noah is such a handsome and talented boy, I wish all the best for him and his family.
Noah is a miracle and an inspiration to those of us with rare brain diseases.
Great and wonderful story. Prayers he will continue making giant leeps. GOD BLESS this family even more.
Wow. Seems really sentient at the end. That's incredible. Can't wait to see how much better he gets with time
Only 2%, you call it miracle, here in Germany we call such people politicians!
Same for britain
I'm glad that his brain grew and whatnot, though I never knew that could happen. I did wonder how he could do what he could do whilst having such a small portion of his brain. Such a sweet boy and family.
This is amazing! Blessing to you All 💗How wonderful for all of you. You are so strong, as a mother I can but imagine how challenging this has been but Love, Presence and Dedication alway win! Wish you All but the best All along your journey🤗
What a beautiful little boy. He defines miraculous!!
Wonderfull 💗 Congrats to parents that kind of change wouldn't be possible without dedicated parents.
Absolutely incredible that his brain was able to regrow from just 2% !
Lucky little fella
Amazing parents and little boy.
I have followed Noahs story since seeing him on Tyne Tees News when he was little. He's a miracle child Happy 10th Birthday Noah. 🎂😁😀🎈🎈🎈🎁
Good to see such positive story for a change
God is just amazing! Blessing this family and this lovely boy! Amen for miracles!!
Incredible, beautiful story, a mothers love can sometimes work miracles.
This little boy is absolutely amazing! I'm just speechless!
He speaks thats amazing to me
Well i was like why would you not terminate pregnancy with only 2% of a normal brain. Well turns out I was wrong as no one ever told me brains can grow like that in kids!
This is a great video thank you very much for sharing his story he's such an amazing little boy and it's clear that nothing is going to stop him not after beating so much already.🙂👍✌
WOW what a happy fellow, and a miracle, inspiration. You go Noah and the amazing people around you❤️❤️
Wish all of them all the best and stay in good health.You are so strong and. Noah so cute.
Fantastic story of inspiration! Noah keep proving the doctors wrong buddy! You are amazing
Just love the pic with his grandparents kissing his cheeks. Great little kid.
Awe...how sweet he is and what a miracle! However I thought his mom was his grandmother, she looks to be an advanced maternal age.
What a lovely little chap and amazing parents
Luckily his parents didn’t give up. It is miracle!!
So wonderful! May God’s blessings be with you all always. X
Beautiful story. Bless all if you. 😊👊
Doctors always ALWAYS give family the grimace news possible so when the patient recovery’s, the patient feels victory.
If doctors give you a month to live but you die in the next two news, they can get sued by the family for malpractice.
That is not true. It is just the honest prognosis. You cant get sued over that, since a prognosis is just a statistical expectation at best, and not a diagnosis.
He is beautiful, God is great, and I know it is parents with as much love and determination as you two have, that have made him not just survive but flourish. God bless you all.
He's so precious.
Amazing little boy!!!
Pre-birth stem cells supplying what Noah’s little body perceived as a loss that needed to be corrected for proper function??? I don’t know if this could happen or not, as I’m not a doctor. This is a guess from information I’ve learned about. I was a microbiology technologist and phlebotomist for most of my working life and have always been interested in learning about illness and diseases in the human body, as well as possible abnormalities since I, literally, learned to read.
Such a happy little boy😀💙
The brain is definitely such an incredible part of the body...
It's love that helped him.
Amazing I'm so happy for you!
