'He is the happiest little boy that you could ever meet'
A young North Belfast boy has defied the odds and started walking after being told it is something that he would never be able to do.
Doctors asked Megan if she wanted to turn off his life support machine as Shea would have "no quality of life", but she refused because his heart was still beating and she felt that he was going to continue fighting. Megan said: "With Shea being born so premature we knew there were going to be difficulties but never imagined what he would have to go through during those four and a half months in hospital.
"Shea now has cerebral palsy and epilepsy but has continued to keep battling and the progress that has made it incredible." She said: "To see Shea walk this week was absolutely amazing, I am just so proud of him and all the hard work that he has put in to get this far.
