PARENTS of Wigton's 10-year old miracle boy Noah Wall have thanked wellwishers for support during his stay in hospital with an infection.

Noah was born with only two per cent of his brain, which has now grown to 80 per cent - his story of tackling adversity and his goal to 'run not walk' has inspired many people across the world.

However this condition means that Noah spends periods in and out of hospital, with one of those periods being last week.

Mum Shelly Wall said: "This is his life, but it is still very scary because he has a life threatening condition, so Saturday he was fine we had a party and then Sunday night he was really ill."

Noah got worse until on Tuesday Shelly rang the RVI, who have treated Noah since he was a baby.

Shelly said: "It's just not fun, but Noah has been absolutely bombarded with messages from all over the world.

"People have been sending jokes, pictures of their dogs, saying prayers, asking how he is it's just been amazing - to get messages from Korea, New Zealand, he's had them from everywhere."

Noah was taken to hospital where he was treated for an infection - although Noah is well-known on the ward and has 'open access' he had to wait ten hours for a bed.

Noah was released from hospital on Sunday, July 17 much to the delight of him and Shelly who wished to thank everyone for their support.

Noah's twitter page #HugsforNoah posted a statement when the youngster went into hospital - the tweet had over 4,000 likes by the time Noah was released from hospital with hundreds of messages of support.

Noah will be back in hospital in August to have his coxics removed in a bid to provide him with more comfort when he is on a hard surface, making tasks like sitting on the floor difficult.

She said: "This is his life, but the nurses and the staff here are just so amazing - they have known Noah since he was a baby, we call this his second safe place after home."
