2023-05-14 03:32:31

Many people think that only the elderly can suffer from dementia, but it turns out that children can also face such diseases. Three and a half years ago, a single mother in Australia discovered that her son, who was under 1 year old at the time, was suffering from a rare genetic disease. Unexpectedly, misfortunes followed. The other two older children also suffered from the same disease. Doctors even judged that they would not live to be 20 years old . Despite this, she still works hard to cheer up for the sake of her three children, and cherishes parent-child time doubly.

According to Australian media reports, single mother Renee Staska from South Australia has three children, including 8-year-old eldest son Hudson, 6-year-old daughter Holly and 4-year-old Austin. When Austin was eight months old, his liver and spleen were enlarged, and under careful examination by doctors, it was discovered that he was suffering from a rare genetic disease, Niemann–Pick disease type C (NPC), which causes childhood illness. Dementia. At that time, the doctor bluntly stated that NPC was terminally ill, and there was currently no cure, only palliative treatment.

A genetic disorder can be triggered when both parents have faulty genes, and the two older children have a 25 percent chance of developing the disorder as well. In order to relieve her doubts, Renee also took blood tests with the other two children, and the results confirmed that Hudson and Holly also suffered from NPC unfortunately. When she heard the bad news, she could only cry out of heartbreak. Now Hudson has some symptoms. He is struggling to read and write at school, while Holly is sad that she can’t keep up with other children’s progress. “She’s working hard, but she doesn’t understand why she still can’t keep up.” .

It is expected that the children will be sad at the age of 20 Cherish parent-child time

Renee pointed out that in the future, their physical functions and abilities will gradually regress, including loss of memory, activities, speaking and eating abilities. Doctors judge that most children with NPC will not live to be 20 years old. She understands that she will eventually lose three years of age. I have only one child, so I cherish the time when the family of four get together,

“Everyone thinks there’s always a tomorrow, but that’s not the case, so we can only live in the present.”

Although she is in a desperate situation and will face more and more challenges, Renee understands that being discouraged will not help her children’s illness. As a mother, she must cheer up,

“They’re going to go through a lot and I have to be strong for them so they can be strong.”

Dr. May Aung-Htut from Murdoch University in Australia explained that NPC in children is caused by genetic defects. The accumulation of excess fat molecules will form a toxic environment and lead to brain cell death. Therefore, she and her team are developing new drugs to reduce the risk of NPC in children. level of lipogenesis. According to reports, about 2,300 children in Australia currently suffer from dementia, 75% of whom will not live past the age of 18, and the death rate is similar to that of children with cancer.
