​@@TheVideoGamesHistorian yes, a different kind. Claire and Lola were born with a rare kind where they were a lot more disabled with a lot more complications. Not every condition is one size fits all.

Gwen wrote nasty letters to the doctors every year on the girls’ birthdays. Telling them how her girls are “kicking ass and taking names” because they lived another year past their life expectancy. Which I feel was uncalled for. The doctors were talking her what life would be like for the average child that had the same diagnoses as her daughters. Because they didn’t tell her…”your daughters will be unlike all the other children with microcephaly, they will outlive us all”. The doctor’s did the right thing when they told her what to expect. There was no need for her to send a “big FU” (as she called it) with a letter every year. And these girls suffered more in their lives than they enjoyed it. She would actually tell people that they are just like any other teenager…sassy and opinionated”….when you have severely disabled children like this, being delusional helps NO ONE. Least of all those girls.

This mother called her severely disabled children a “freak show” on social media. Think about it. The girls have died. These two children lived in severe pain and suffering until they passed. The mother’s attitude, her rudeness towards her husband and son, her grifting for money on social media, her callous disregard for the suffering she witnessed every day, her narcissistic fixation on herself and her own savior complex - is tragic. These children have passed away now - also the news doing a story reinforcing this woman as a “great mother” is very problematic.

Oh- how sad!! Their Family and epecially her sister will miss her SO much...!!!

Update: Lola died, too in October 2019. Glad she’s finally at peace.

It took me 5 desperate years to fall pregnant with my first child. I was over the moon when I finally passed the 12 week mark, when a fetus is more likely to survive. I had all the usual ultrasound tests and the scans were fine, up until about 28 weeks, when it was discovered that I didn’t have enough amniotic fluid. Even then, nobody told me that there could be a big problem, all they said that I might need a caesarean, because the baby won’t be able to turn into the birthing position. During the first 5 months of her life, my daughter was diagnosed with a coloboma in her left eye, which means that her eye didn’t develop. I was also told later she has microcephaly, although it is not as severe as for these poor sisters. At 11 she was diagnosed with autism and ADHD. Yet, she communicates in two languages and has such a sweet personality. She is otherwise healthy, hardly missed school with colds etc. But no matter how much we love her, life is often a struggle and her younger sister misses out on a lot of attention. I fell pregnant for the second time when my first child was 6 months old. At the time we had no huge concerns for the new baby, although I was monitored more carefully, having specific scans to check the development of the eyes, in case we have the same problems. Luckily, everything was fine. I am sure, the parents loved all their children, but boy... that brother must have missed out on so much.

Something is not quite right with this couple.... They seem to feed off of their daughter's illness.

Yeah, when you really do a deep dive into the blog and socials, you really understand how they weren't merely disable, but non-abled. They were offered no dignity and the mom made them look and seem more disgusting than they should have been. Those girls never hit any milestones and gwen refused them medication and chose the woo way... Until those children inevitably would need severe medical intervention. Of COURSE then medicine was ok for them. She's said holding them in a "holy experience" and how they could communicate blah blah... Their delusion about these children did nothing for them except gross people out, pushed the "typical" son aside and made up personalities for them all while using up resources for them which would never work for those children and could have gone to someone who could actually use it. She always lied to everyone and herself about their Dx and thought her children were an exception to the rule about people born with aspergine synthetase deficiency, which was their actual diagnosis... Yet she just kept trying to keep them the face of microcephaly when this and ALL of their other ailments were mere symptoms of the much worse problem.

my cousin had a daughter with microcephaly. She was diagnosed during mid stage of pregnancy through ultrasound, the doctor advised her to get a medical intervention, but she insisted on giving birth. And our family thought it was the most stupid decision. Her daughter at 7 years old couldn't talk, walk , eat and needed constant care like an infant, like wearing diapers etc. The child cried a lot due to the brain issues. I think sometimes the most difficult and hard decisions can be the most right decision. If she has listened to doctor's advice, she would have lived all those 7 years without having to go through these all. No matter how tough it may sound, I don't understand those parents. Sometimes it's more humane to stop the suffering of these living beings . It's more humane

Some mother's don't want to terminate the pregnancy. I have a cousin she had a child in 2010 and that child is disabled. Today my younger cousin Mia is 8 years old and even though she is disabled because of genetics she wants to be here.

There’s a big difference between chronic pain, and having no idea where you are or what’s going on ever, being immobile, being cortically blind and deaf (because although you have working eyes & ears, there’s no brain to perceive sights & sounds), having less ability to engage with the world around you & function than a newborn. While I’m not discounting your struggles in life, the latter case is undoubtedly a horrible, painful, empty way to live; a life devoid of any quality. There is more to life than having vital signs, being spoon-fed like a newborn, and shitting. Please explain how that betrays a “lack of understanding of the disabled”? I think it’s you whom lacks the understanding that many disabled beings are different from yourself.

It was impossible not to see that both of these girls were in constant pain. Thankfully, both Claire and Lola have died, and can no longer be made to suffer for Gwen's entertainment.

If I'm not mistaken I believe he has a 50/50 genetic chance. Both parents carried a recessive genetic condition and the odds of have 2 children is astronomical. The parents probably have 1/4 each to produce 50/50 odds of 3 children realistically 2 children both girls I might add. It even could be that the mother carries a high gene for 50 and the dad 1/4 since the son doesn't carry a dominant gene. Buy otherwise I'm guess he does carry the gene but the odds of finding another person who carries it is slim. From what I can remember in science is it takes 2 people with the same recessive genetic abnormality to produce a child with such a rare condition. Especially two children with the condition.

This is never a life I'd want for a child. They're not even really alive, that sounds so wrong, but they'd never be able to live on their own and be away from their parents.

The parents knew & admitted that they would never have the mental capabilities beyond that of a newborn. Their condition is degenerative so their mental function would actually regress from that. To give you an idea of how extreme their condition is, their eyes & ears are functional but they have such limited mental capabilities their brains can’t process what they see or hear. They are essentially blind, deaf, & have zero awareness. I can’t imagine condemning a child to an existence like this. I can’t bring myself to call it a “life” because they’re not truly living, just existing.

kk gang actually, not much is going through their minds bc they don’t have full, working brains. Their sight & vision are perfect examples of how little brain function they have bc while their eyes & ears technically work, they don’t have the mental capabilities to process what they’re seeing & hearing. The little bit of instinctual function they do have is slowly regressing as well as their condition is degenerative.

That being said it was ultimately their decision and I don't actually condemn them for it, but its an odd thing to almost blame on their older child?
