Bentley Yoder, 7-month-old, was born with his brain outside his skull. Encephalocele is a rare condition that makes the brain grow over the skull during pregnancy. His mother was advised to abort the pregnancy at 22 weeks, they said the baby won't survive after birth, but she went ahead and gave birth to the baby.
The doctors came up with a plan to push his brain back into his skull. And after hours in the operating theatre, they finally succeeded.
Today 7-month-old Bentley is doing just fine. They said he won't talk, he won't move, that no one will know when he's hungry. But he's alive today, he's talking, he's moving, and he's eating just fine.
In life it is very easy to give up when we're faced with a mighty problem. But baby Bentley didn't give up, he is telling you today never to give up.
If you have ever wondered what the purpose to life is. Bentley answers your question; there's purpose in fighting.
