There is a rare disease called Sanfallippo syndrome that is often referred to as Alzheimers for children. It starts in the first few years of life and is remarkably similar in its effects. One of the most painful things in life is to watch someone you love slowly amd painfully deteriorate

I wonder how long that poor baby was left in the car in freezing temps? I assume the car was not left running that whole time 'Mae' was riding around with the women. This is an incredible story and these women deserve all the accolades.

If the disease can be diagnosed before age 3 (which is extremely rare bc early developmental delays/differences are often misdiagnosed as autism) a stem cell transplant has a chance of slowing some of the physical deterioration. It is controversial bc it's very risky. It is the only intervention I know of.
