A mother whose baby was born with a rare condition said her instinct stopped her child from "ending up in a graveyard" after doctors initially just dubbed him as "lazy". Laura Cayzer, 30, and her partner, Anthony Lewis, 31, welcomed their fourth child Lennox into the world on September 3, 2022.
The couple, from Skelmersdale, said there were no problems in Laura's pregnancy until 42 weeks in, when she had to be induced, the Liverpool Echo reports. However, after her "horrendous" labour, the mother noticed her son appeared "floppy" when he was born and said she immediately knew something wasn't right.
Laura says she was made to feel like a "hypochondriac" before Lennox was later diagnosed with PURA neurodevelopmental disorder at six weeks old. The rare genetic condition that only currently affects 400 children worldwide.
