Ghost Boy: The Miraculous Escape of a Misdiagnosed Boy Trapped Inside His Own Body
by Martin Pistorius
This is a truly amazing story of a boy from South Africa who at the age of twelve, came home from school complaining of a sore throat. He quickly and progressively became more ill and within a year, lost all control of his body and even lost the ability to speak. His parents took him to doctor after doctor and no one could tell them why their boy had become a shell. His parents fed and bathed him while they waited for him to die.
Inexplicably, at around the age of 16, he began to become of aware of his surroundings once more. The devastating reality was that he had no way of communicating with the world and so no one knew that he was waking up. For four long years, he suffered in silence and despair until a perceptive caregiver thought she could see recognition in his eyes.
This is an incredible story of survival and triumph. If it wasn't a true story there is no way you would believe this could happen.
