“Hart has minor Periventricular Leukomalacia on both sides of his brain (namely the white matter), but more so on his right,” the former reality star chronicled.
“The doctor said that this explains all of my concerns: the rigidity in his muscles, the (somewhat) delayed physical milestones, the lack of fluidity with arm and leg movements, the stiffness in joints, the weakness in his lower back, the somewhat favored use of his right side.”
“I pray for a miracle and I grapple with how to navigate his life. Thirteen days after his diagnosis I finally put these thoughts to paper. This is a heavy challenge as a mother: where do we go from here? This is where: one foot in front of the other.”
Meghan and Jim, share twins Hart and Hayes, 13 months, and Aspen, 2.
