Sadly,
Nickolas Coke died at the tender age of 3 after what doctors and the
entire world call a miracle life! Nickolas Coke was born without a
brain, a condition called anencephaly and despite the fact that,
normally he should’ve died only hours after birth, he defied all odds
and lived to be 3 years old. Find out his full story right here.
Nickolas Coke was born with just a brain stem and normally, children born with anencephaly,
the condition Nick suffered from, only live just a few hors after
birth, in the fortunate event that they are not still born. Well, to all
of the medical reports and documentation, Nickolas Coke is proof that
miracles do exist and up until recently, we could’ve said that he is
living proof, but sadly, on October 31st, 2012 at the age of 3.
Nickolas
Coke was born just a few days before Christmas in 2009 and he has been a
blessing on his family ever since. His grandmother declared that:
He was our hero because he showed the strength if I can do this anything can be done. He taught us everything, he taught the love, how to be family. He taught us everything
His
grandma was actually the person who was with him in his dying hour. The
little boy had been fighting with a virus which had affected his
respiratory system. The family had already gone through such a fright a
while back ago, in the winter, when Nickolas caught another virus.
Luckily for them in the winter, Nickolas pulled through and gave his
family more precious moments of joy and laughter.
Some
of the last pictures that were taken of the baby living with no brain
show him smiling on Halloween. Sherri Kohut, Nickolas’ grandmother
declared that:
He was laughing because he thought it was funny that we couldn’t get him to stay still enough to roll off the pumpkins.”
As
far as his last days, Sherri Kohut said that the boy had recently
caught a virus and that he woke up in the morning breathing really,
really bad.
Nickolas eventually
stopped breathing. The doctors performed C.P.R., but after the third
unsuccessful try Nickolas was declared dead.
“They told us no more, let him go. So he died at 12:40 today. Peacefully”
The
entire life of Nickolas was a miracle not just for his family, but also
for the entire medical world. Instead of thinking of the moment when
the boy will die, Nikolas’ family focused on making his life something
worth while. They took him camping, and to visit zoos… he had all of the
love he could’ve had from those around him.
Despite the fact that the doctors only expected the baby to live for a few hours, Nickolas is one of the strangest babies ever born,
who actually managed to live for 3 years and 11 months without being
hooked up to any machines or medical aids. Living with no brain, and
just a brain stem means that Nickolas could not eat on his own, nor
speak or walk and he often suffered from debilitating seizures.
