Recently report says that a 6-month-old baby suffering from a strange disease, cannot cry or breathe properly, doctors are also surprised by this rare disease. Leo, a 6-month-old baby in Canada, is battling a disease that even doctors have no name for. Leo can neither cry nor breathe properly. The doctors are also shocked by his illness. Leo's 32-year-old mother Lucinda Andrew is pleading with doctors to conduct research on the child's treatment and disease. Lucinda gave birth to Leo on March 5 via normal delivery at Medway Maritime Hospital in Canada. After birth, doctors noticed that the child was not able to move.
The child was examined. The report revealed that Leo is suffering from a genetic condition that affects the protein-coding of the TBCD gene. Such cases are rare. Till now doctors have not been able to give any name to this disease. Lucinda says she wants doctors to research this mysterious disease so that her son can be treated. Leo can't even cry. He has epileptic seizures and has trouble breathing.
She was placed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit a few days after birth. The disease also had a bad effect on the brain: On March 11, doctors transferred the child to St. Thomas Hospital for treatment. Doctors say that Leo is suffering from a genetic condition. The disease is directly related to the TBCD gene. Lucinda says, the doctors told me about the disease but scientifically there is no name for this disease.
The doctors themselves are also surprised. According to Lucinda, due to this disease, Leo's brain has also been affected badly. He has started having epileptic seizures. At present, he is being treated at home with the help of physiotherapy. His hydrotherapy exercise is being done in the pool of water. Lucinda says, even experts know very little about this disease because it is a very rare disease.
To understand this disease, she did a lot of research with the help of the internet and e-mailed many renowned experts from all over the world. Lucinda believes that research needs to be done on the child's disease so that there can be a ray of hope for its treatment. Lucinda wrote a post about her son on social media. After sharing the post, it came to know that there are 6 more such families whose children are suffering from this genetic disease.
Lucinda says I have consulted a molecular biologist because the molecular drugs can help in the treatment of this disease. She says I am happy that my son enjoys watching Toy Story on the iPad. He looks happy seeing it.
