The Teen Who Dies If He Falls Asleep

SUBSCRIBE to Barcroft TV: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
A TEENAGER who suffers from an extremely rare condition means if he falls asleep unassisted - he dies.Liam Derbyshire was born with Ondine’s Curse, officially known as Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome, which causes respiratory arrest due to a patient’s lungs not functioning when they are asleep. The condition, which affects less than 1500 worldwide, means the 17-year-old has to be plugged into a life support machine and watched by a carer every night to keep him alive. Doctors gave Liam just six weeks to live after birth, but later this year the young man from Gosport, South Hampshire, is turning 18 and has truly defied all odds.

Have a nice day I do genuinely hope you can find something good in every day no matter how small.

Backup battery. That device I would say 4-8 hours of battery life. If it went beyond that I am sure he would be arranged to be driven or flown to a hospital with power. And as a last resort probably generators - though if it were to come to that...I am sure they'd rather not think about it. I suppose they could hand vent him for a bit or literally keep him awake with medication for as long as possible. But of course that will have its limits too.

I cannot imagine. I have to go cry about this and everything, excuse me.

[@harlequindeer2142]

joekenorer I have an autistic brother and it is so hard to take care of him sometimes he is just too much for my mom and I. He is now 9 and it seems every year it gets harder and harder

[@joekenorer]

My son was very difficult in his younger years, destroying things, eating raw meat out of the fridge at night, pooping in his pants, I worried that would always be how he was. But he changed a lot in the past 4-5 years. He's calmed down, isn't destructive, finally potty trained, but over all much more manageable and personable. He still won't hold a conversation, but he does talk and a lot and well, it's just usually scripting his favorite KZbinrs.

[@joekenorer]

Don't lose hope, he will change a lot as he gets older. In what ways will be hard to tell, but he will change.

[@ashk4512]

I have autistic members in my family. The severeness ranges from person to person but they all mantain jobs and families of their own. Don't discourage and/or look down on your kid. He'll do great, no matter the struggles. Also, people with autism are extremely intelligent but rarely get the oppertunity to really showcase it. So let your kid explore his space around him and give him the tools so that he may figure out his strengths and weaknesses. A doctor once told me. "Neurotypical see a lot of trees together and think 'oh, that's a forest.' but people with autism look at the ground, they look at the flowers and mushrooms and from that base that it is indeed a forest." "people with autism are in no way less intelligent. they just view the world in a different light, and so, express themselves differently. Just because he is 'different' doesn't at all diminish his quality or life or make him less likely to succeed with his life. take care!

[@harlequindeer2142]

joekenorer when did your so start talking ? Cause right now my brother can only manage saying one word and it’s not that audible

[@enau7691]

Thanks for sharing to this beautiful family

[@manatal4673]

Thank you for sharing these special moments and aspects of your journey together. Liam is motivational!!! It helps my understanding and empathy anyone with this lack of cerebral communicatory functions in people with this condition.

Thoughts and prayers caused this. The power was too strong and his body rejected it, you never ever seen my hero academia smh

[@jessejive117]

Cruciatum You’ve gotta ask him. And she didn’t say she’s prayed for him to be cured. Maybe that he could fine a purpose for what he lives with and peace with it if he hasn’t. Your tiny little mind can’t think of anything else it’s okay ☺️

[@highfashionwins]

Liam seems like such a sweet, kind soul. It's so unfair :(

[@youtubecristy4009]

He would be so glad as he has this really caring parents.🥺 Hope he finds a cure as soon as possible 😔😢

I thank God for sustaining Liam's life through the machines.

[@jesusissogood5572]

By the way, God loves you so much that He sent His only son Jesus to die for your wrongs so that you could be forgiven by God (who rose Jesus from the dead after 3 days). Accept Jesus into your life and as your Lord and Savior while you can! I am not forcing you to do so, but I STRONGLY encourage you to.

[@lussor1]

God did nothing

[@007shinette]

[@josht5453]

Stupid question, but how did they discover this when he was a new born? I would have thought soon after being born he would have fallen asleep and passed away before anyone knew any better

[@tfi4310]

Josh T devolops.

[@uhohriver]

Josh T maybe they noticed he wasnt breathing when falling asleep because you dont imieditly die because of not breathing it takr a while from you to die from that (*at least I think I of course am stating what I think would be the case*) so maybe this continued on like maybe they kept an eye on him so then thry relized within time of him not breathing during sleep he would die? I dont truely have an answer of course please understand im saying what I think happened for them to figure out this man's condition. May he live a happy life

[@average391]

When a new born is wel born they alway check on him for like a day to do test and he is not dead cuz if he was new born he wil sleep with a air mask man i know this and im 9 maybe my dad is a docter 😑
