Carolina Escobar is a 3 year old girl from Honduras. Her initial months were happy and healthy, like any typical infant, but then something happened that caused great concern. Around 18 months of age, Carolina began regressing – losing abilities and skills that she had acquired. Her mother, Iris, brought her to see an American medical mission team from South Carolina in January with the hope of finding answers. Little did she know at the time that Iris would not only receive the answer she had been desperately searching for, but that her daughter would be diagnosed by a physician who had expertise in her rare disorder, and one who is actively searching for a treatment.
