A UK toddler with rare Batten disease faces death before age 10 and receives costly brain infusions funded by charity.
A three-year-old girl in Dorset, UK, diagnosed with Batten disease, a rare fatal genetic disorder affecting only about 40 children in the UK, is expected to live no longer than age 10.
Her mother, Stacey Sprason, said the diagnosis, following a sudden seizure and hospitalization, was devastating, with Teraysa facing progressive loss of vision, mobility, speech, and ability to eat.
The child undergoes expensive, life-sustaining enzyme infusions into her brain every two weeks, costing £500,000 annually and funded by charity.
The family is raising money for treatment travel and a trip to Disneyland, while coping with ongoing seizures and emotional strain.
