My daughter just found out through MRI that her unborn daughter will have Dandy Walker Syndrome, ACC, Anechoic cyst in her posterior fossa, colpocephaly, the left ventricle of her heart is thickened, heart is in the center of her chest, and her kidneys aren’t functioning properly. I’m a nurse, so I’ve done the deep dive into educating myself on the MRI results. I’m scared to death for them all. Your video was truly calming although unfortunately we have many more concerns. I read through all of the comments and find it comforting that so many people lived a full life not even knowing. Best wishes to you and Ava. Thanks for sharing your video!

I just want to ask whether you have come across Iain McGilchrist, who has a KZbin channel and is the author of 'The Master and His Emissary'. He is an expert on the split brain and has an important new theory that the right brain sees the whole picture while the left brain is about 'getting things'. He believed that in today's society the left brain is dominating and the right is underused. He also says that studies show that the corpus collosum is mostly about one half inhibiting the other rather than communicating. As Ada grows up, especially in the teenage years when social interaction becomes more complex you might find it interesting to understand his ideas.

@@lindsaystafford8149 Hi Lindsay. Well some problems with learning as he progresses through primary school.. he has one year left until he transitions to high school. Difficulties with abstract thinking .. maths, time etc But recently he has begun to dislike social interactions when there are lots of people are involved. He is fine one to one, but as the numbers increase so does his desire not to get involved. He goes to a support group here in scotland called young carers, this has helped him, they do lots of social activities and outings. He started going to this because I have my own fairly significant mental health problems, and am also autistic so find socialising problematic. But recently, he is ten now as I have mentioned, he has become more anxious about socialising. I am on the verge of explaining to him his condition because he does not yet know (although his school does ) because I feel that he has a right to understand some of his struggles better. But this is a new step .. and a scary one for me, very frightened I will get it wrong, but am asking for help. I hope this helps a bit, please feel free to ask anything, Sam has other difficulties too but don't know how relevant these would be to you as they are of a more private nature. best wishes, Imogen

My daughter and I reside in the LA area of California, Doctors seem astonished at her abilities to make it to adulthood without pediatricians knowing or under close care. They were surprised to hear she had been accepted by a University. truly remarkable how the human brain can create a pathway for itself.
