Leopold was born prematurely in 2019. For a long time, it was not known why he was not developing like a normal child, until he was diagnosed with Prader Willi syndrome at the age of three. This is a rare genetic condition that causes a lack of feeling full, which means Leopold is always hungry.
The disease has many other symptoms, so his parents need to take extra care of him.
Now five and a half years old, Leopold suffers from severe sleep apnea, which requires surgery, a very special diet, and as much exercise as possible to manage. They hope that in the future, the little boy will be able to receive growth hormone, which is crucial for the development of children with Prader-Willi syndrome.
Leopold is a very cheerful, active little boy who, although he can't speak yet, is developing slowly but dynamically compared to himself.
Let's help Leopold and his family together!
