Boy with Half a Brain in Spain Can Walk and Talk, Family Surprised

Immigrating to Spain to Hear Spanish Stories: According to Spain's ABC website, when we see Jack Glaston, we do not think that this little boy in front of us can live with only half a brain. When he was only six months old, doctors discovered this abnormality and warned the child's parents that he might not be able to walk or talk as he grew up. However, Jack has defied this prediction. Now at four years old, he can live normally like other children. "This is truly incredible," said the child's mother, Sarah.

 

 

X-ray images taken during Jack's infancy showed that only half of the child's brain was functioning, and everyone believed he could not grow up normally. However, things were not as bad as they thought; Jack grew up strong and healthy, and he can run normally like other children his age. "This is amazing," his family also expressed their surprise.

Doctors stated that Jack's condition is medically referred to as brain softening and believe that this half of the brain will not grow further. They attributed this condition to a lack of oxygen caused by a shock to the uterus, but fortunately, the child does not lack basic physiological functions and can still walk and talk normally. Of course, despite this, Jack still needs family supervision at all times and requires assistance with eating and dressing.
