Baby Laurel's condition was identified by his parents and teachers following a sudden behaviour change.

He just sits down in one place and also lies down a lot, especially when there are, some activities going on. He's always lying down. He's always sitting. He doesn't involve himself, and also, he has lost so much weight because He is refusing to eat because of the stress that the heart is causing him," Eunice Ibok, Laurel's aunty noted.
