Hearing a child speak for the first time is one of the landmark moments no mother forgets. But for Emma Murray, it was a moment she never thought would happen with her youngest child Aaron. According to her: �
Quote
When Aaron was first born, I was told there was no way he could survive. I was told he might live for three minutes, three hours or three days. The doctors told me if it had been any of his other organs which had failed to grow, they would have been able to do something but they couldn’t grow him another brain. But right from the very beginning, Aaron proved he is a real fighter. “The other day I was saying ‘Mummy’ to him. I was clapping my hands and he was giggling away. He looked at me, and said ‘Mummy’ back. I couldn’t believe it. “I’d been told my son would only live for a few minutes, but now here he was saying ‘Mummy’ – something I never thought I would ever hear
.”
Just minutes after he arrived into the world, doctors told Emma, Aaron had a very rare health condition called holoprosencephaly, which they said left him “incompatible with life”. Born with only a brain stem and not a full brain, Emma was told to invite her closest family to the hospital to meet her newborn boy before he passed away. Aaron was born in March 2013 after Emma was rushed to hospital with what she thought was a burst appendix. She didn’t know she was pregnant until she was in labour. She was later transferred by ambulance to Wishaw General Hospital where staff quickly realised her unborn baby had a larger head than most infants. As soon as he was born he was rushed to the neo-natal unit. It was then a scan revealed Aaron’s brain had not formed properly. He only had a stem and not a full brain. It was an incredibly emotional moment for mum Emma. Aaron defied the predictions of the doctors and is currently two years old learning how to talk. He has difficulties standing on his own. No one really knows what the future holds for the poor boy.

The brain (Forebrain) did not develop properly poster i.e it didn't develop into two hemispheres ...If he was born with no brain he can't even come out alive at all, even a severe holoprosenphaly can lead to the death of the baby before birth...To cut my story short, the headline is wrong ..He was born with a brain that didn't develop normally.

God work is always in a miracle way cos the doctor said he would not spend more than 3minute but the Lord proved them wrong,so about the baby brain or anything wrong i beleive God want to use the baby for a great testimony.
