A 12-year-old Saskatchewan boy has had a surprising and unprecedented reversal of a potentially life-threatening brain disorder, baffling doctors and increasing the faith of family and friends.

In an interview on May 26, Joe McCrea said he had just driven his son Joel home to rural Saskatchewan from Winnipeg, where a surgery for the boy scheduled for the previous day never took place.
