Baby doctors predicted to be deaf, blind, and sick born in perfect health
Oops, good thing the mother didn’t decide to have an abortion based on the doctor’s information! Pediatricians told a British mother during pregnancy screening that her unborn baby had a rare brain disorder — rhomboencephalosynapsis — that would cause the baby to be born deaf, blind, and that he would probably only live a few hours. Much to everyone’s surprise and delight, the baby was born perfectly healthy, and with full vision and hearing.
Now Brandon [Kramer] is teething and attempting to talk, and Kriss, 24, from Pembroke Dock, South Wales, said: “The fact that he is here now, alive and kicking, truly is a miracle.
“The doctors say that he has defied all the odds but it’s really more than that because he wasn’t given any odds at all.
“He was written off completely and we believed he was 100 per cent certain to be handicapped.”
Becky, 23, whose father Paul Weatherall is Mayor of Pembroke Dock, said: “I feel incredibly guilty thinking that I could have killed him – and then I find myself wondering how many other babies are killed who would have turned out to be completely healthy.
“Just two weeks before he was born scans showed that his head was so swollen it was off the scale for normal babies but when he had an MRI scan on Christmas Eve it was confirmed he was completely healthy.
“We had prepared to spend Christmas without him – we thought we’d be planning a funeral. Instead, it was the best Christmas present ever and now we’re having a christening.”
