Heartbreaking Diagnosis: Mom Finds Out Her Child Has Childhood Alzheimer's After TikTok Discovery 😢

About this video

A mum was heartbroken when her "perfect" tot was diagnosed with childhood Alzheimer's - after she spotted an identical looking girl on TikTok.<br /><br />Morgan Rachal, 29, was over the moon when she welcomed her second daughter, Lydia, now 20 months old.<br /><br />The mum-of-two had thought her daughter was completely healthy apart from the odd common ear infection, constipation and sleeping problems.<br /><br />But when her mum, Cindy Weaver, 55, was scrolling through TikTok she spotted a little girl who had looked identical to Lydia, had the same symptoms and had a rare disorder called Sanfilippo.<br /><br />Children with Sanfilippo syndrome typically have full lips and heavy eyebrows that meet above the nose, or hirsutism, which is excess hair growth. <br /><br />The disorder is a rare genetic metabolism disorder know as childhood Alzheimer's as it causes children to lose all the skills they have gained.<br /><br />Lydia currently isn't showing any signs of cognitive decline but will if she doesn't receive treatment.
