Holly and her family

Her first-born daughter was diagnosed with an incurable disease and had to be placed in a home where she could be provided with the conditions, care, and medical treatment appropriate to her condition.

Anna and her family
Anna was born naturally as her first child, exactly at the 40th week, to the day. She had a beautiful, undisturbed birth. There was great joy in the family. At 6 weeks, during the mandatory hip and skull screening, the parents were informed that they saw ventricular dilation on the ultrasound. An MRI scan was recommended for a more accurate diagnosis.
Unfortunately, the suggestion that several areas of the brain developed differently or incompletely was confirmed: the main diagnosis was a rare brain developmental disorder, polymicrogyria. This lesion covers almost the entire brain, and the corpus callosum, the nerve fiber connecting the two cerebral hemispheres, was partially developed, but the MRI findings also showed Septum Pellucidum agenesis and hippocampus malrotation.
