'I do not see his diagnosis as anything but a gift.'
"I always knew. I just knew," she wrote in the post. Edmonds said her son, who is a twin, was experiencing rigidity in his muscles, delayed physical milestones, a lack of fluidity with arm and leg movements, stiffness in joints, weakness in his lower back, and a somewhat favored use of his right side.
"[His doctor] told me this mainly occurs in premies and since he was not a premie she believes this damage somehow occurred 'a couple months before he was born,'" she wrote. Hart, who has"irreversible brain damage," is also at risk for developing Cerebral Palsy when he's older.PVL is a type of brain damage in which small areas of the ventricles create holes in the white matter area of the brain.
Despite her son's diagnosis, Meghan King Edmonds says she will take everything one day at a time and has enrolled Hart in therapy."I explained to Jimmy how we are not somehow compromised or punished for having a child with special needs , we are BLESSED," she wrote in the post.
