My son has AGENESIS OF THE CORPUS CALLOSUM

Tweet

My son, Miguel angelo is turning 3 y/o next month. Migo, as we call him has agenesis of the corpus callosum diagnosed at birth. In layman's term, it means there is an absence of the band that connects the two brain hemispheres. To put it simply, when one has agenesis of the corpus callosum, it is nearly impossible for a peson to learn since no band or bridge will connect the information to and fro our 2 brain hemispheres. Migo was also diagnosed to have schizencephaly, a rare brain disorder associated with agenesis, or vice versa. We have been told and briefed about the possible consequences of what all these will bring Migo in the future. I dreamt of scary things like my son cannot walk,talk,learn,comprehend, become a veggie and other countless situations beyond what a normal child is not. But years have passed and soon, our dear Migo is turning 3! Surprise of all surpreises, he didnt turn out to be as what we were afraid of. oh yes, right now, our Migo still has mild developmental delay, he is a little spastic on his R side, has speech delay(well, we're working on phrases now!), needs PT Ot therapies, but still,Migo is fine! He walks, runs,learns,dances,talks,jumps and other stuffs any child does. Oh well, maybe not as smooth or fine as others would. Truly i can say that there are 3 things in life one has to have in case of any illnesses namely, God,money and love.All should work hand in hand. One cannot work without the other.I am glad we never gave up.
