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.
