On September 18th, just before Liam turned four months old, our family got the results from genetics and it was the worst news we had ever received. 

Liam has a rare genetic mutation called GNAI1 Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder. Symptoms of this mutation include, developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, neurobehavioral/ psychiatric manifestations, hypotonia, and epilepsy. In the available literature regarding GNAI1 (link posted below), there are only 26 known individuals with this mutation.

When we received this news, our family decided to take a proactive approach by seeking all the possible treatments to provide Liam with the best life possible.
