Gemma and Ed believed that their son Jack was just a little boy happier than the others because he spent 17 hours a day laughing. It is not so. Jack was diagnosed with a very rare brain cancer.
The newborn's bursts of laughter were actually triggered by the hypothalamic hamartoma (HH), a benign brain tumor. Two years after making this discovery, the boy was finally operated on for ten hours to remove the excrescence in his brain.
The surgery was a success and the "laughter" stopped.
Gemma, the little boy's mother, did not think, when she first heard his laughter, that it could be cancer. During the six-week check-up, a nurse found this anomaly. "
I felt bad that another woman had noticed this in my child when it should have been my job as a mom", she explained to
Mirror.
The family had to wait almost two years before obtaining a precise diagnosis of the cause of these "crises". Even today, Gemma and Ed are a little stressed when they hear their son burst out laughing but are relieved that the operation went well. "
She changed Jack's life and ours."
