Lucy Landman was born with a very rare genetic disorder that causes severe intellectual disability, weak muscles and seizures, among other symptoms.
"She is expected to very much never be able to live independently, likely never be potty trained, likely never speak," says Geri Landman, Lucy's mother.
Lucy, who is now 3 years old, has trouble with coordinating her muscles. She "walks like she's drunk most of the time," Landman says. "It's hard to watch your child suffer. And Lucy does, some days, suffer a lot."
There are only a handful of kids in the world with Lucy's disorder, which is called PGAP-3 CDG. There's no way to treat it.
