Brave little boy: Oliver Jebson (right) who cannot feel pain with his parents Hayley, 25, and Dean, 27, and brother Lewis.

閱讀難度：

Three-year-old Oliver Jebson doesn't notice when he has hurt himself, the Daily Mail reports. His parents have to watch him extra carefully because he is not able to feel physical pain.

He has even split his lip open before without shouting out to his parents.

Oliver was diagnosed with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome, which affects just one in 50,000 children, at birth. The condition causes sufferers to have stunted growth and occasionally can mean that pain sensors are blocked out.

Doctors warned Oliver's parents that he was unlikely to survive beyond his second birthday, but Oliver has beaten the odds and is now making incredible progress.

After six operations and dozens of hospital appointments, Oliver has recently taken his first steps and has uttered his first words – years ahead of schedule.

英3歲男童天生無痛感

?????? 據(jù)英國《每日郵報》報道，3歲男童奧利弗?杰布森竟然生來就感覺不到疼痛，他的父母因此不得不給予他更多關照。

?????? 他曾經摔破嘴唇，因為毫無痛感也不向父母大喊哭鬧。

?????? 奧利弗罹患德朗熱綜合癥，得這種病的幾率是五萬分之一。常見癥狀是身材矮小、沒有痛感。

?????? 醫(yī)生當初警告稱，奧利弗可能活不過兩歲。但是他竟然勇敢戰(zhàn)勝病癥、并且取得了令人難以置信的進展。

?????? 至今，奧利弗接受過6次手術和數(shù)次醫(yī)生會診。不久前他學會走路，能說一些簡單的單詞，大大超出醫(yī)生預料。
