00:00How are you, El? Are you enjoying it?
00:01I'm enjoying it, super!
00:02Let's talk about your belt, okay?
00:04Tomorrow, I'll be wearing a belt.
00:05You're all about that belt, right?
00:07So that's what you were talking about, the belt that's not supposed to be worn in a centurera?
00:09Yes, that's how it is.
00:10Oh, so at least now I know, it's a good thing that El is here.
00:13El, if you didn't know, Susan has a hard time making her laugh.
00:16Really?
00:17Yes, she has a hard time making her laugh.
00:18It's like Susan is just laughing.
00:20Right?
00:22How about you, El? Is it easy for you to make people laugh?
00:24How do you make people laugh?
00:26It's easy for her to make people laugh.
00:27It's easy?
00:28I'm just making her laugh.
00:29You're just making her laugh, right?
00:30Anyway, it's really hard to stop someone from laughing.
00:33Especially when it's really funny.
00:35But there's a chance where if you force the true emotion to come out,
00:39it can stop a condition.
00:41Oh my!
00:42That's the story of Niko Wahe.
00:49The laughter of a three-year-old girl named Thirdie is strong.
00:53But notice that her reaction doesn't change.
00:58She was crying, crying.
00:59She was crying, crying.
01:00She was crying, crying.
01:01She was crying, crying.
01:02She was crying, crying.
01:03But she was laughing.
01:05She was laughing.
01:06Clap, clap.
01:11Irene is careful about giving birth to her third child.
01:14That's why she didn't expect that she would have a high fever.
01:18That was five months ago.
01:20I had a severe fever.
01:22It reached 40 degrees.
01:24I couldn't take any medicine because it was still a pregnancy.
01:28When I came back, my weight dropped by 10 kilos.
01:31I thought she was healthy.
01:34At the same time as Irene's prenatal check-up,
01:37she noticed that there was a difference in her ultrasound.
01:40I noticed that she had a wrinkle.
01:43The doctor told me that maybe it was just a sprain.
01:49That's why I believed it.
01:51That's why when she gave birth, Irene was surprised by the condition of her child, Thirdie.
01:55When I gave birth to my child,
01:57she had a big bump here.
01:59It was soft.
02:00She had a wrinkle.
02:02She didn't have a hand.
02:03That's why I was shocked.
02:04I was shocked.
02:08She was admitted to the Children's Hospital in Pabdic.
02:11She complied within 15 days.
02:14She underwent a laboratory and a newborn test.
02:16All the tests she underwent were negative.
02:20It was really just for physical appearance.
02:25According to the neurologist, Dr. Levin Ace Danganan,
02:28Thirdie has a rare congenital condition called Mobius Syndrome.
02:33It affects the muscle that controls the facial expression and movement of the eyes.
02:38You should know that out of the 500,000 patients who give birth,
02:42one has Mobius Syndrome.
02:43It means that it's very rare to have Mobius Syndrome.
02:48We detect it when a patient gives birth.
02:51This is accompanied by facial weakness.
02:54The face of a child or a baby can't have a facial expression.
02:58It can't smile or cry.
03:00It's accompanied by different abnormalities as well.
03:03We can have limb abnormalities.
03:05It can be clubfoot.
03:07The development of the two hands of a baby is incomplete.
03:11The possible cause of this condition is still being studied.
03:15While the mother is giving birth,
03:17she has a problem.
03:18It's either she can't drink a medicine that's not teratogenic.
03:22While the baby is being formed,
03:24we have a problem.
03:27We can have a deformation or malformation
03:30that blocks the development of the baby.
03:33Because of this strange condition,
03:35it seems that their care for Thirdie has become an open book.
03:39A lot of people commented that Thirdie is a blessing.
03:42It's a positive comment that you can do it.
03:45The life expectancy of a patient with Mobius Syndrome
03:48depends on the complications of the patient.
03:53Aside from using a special bottle for drinking,
03:56Thirdie also went under the operation
03:58to fix his cleft palate and clubfoot.
04:04It feels so good.
04:06I can hear the baby laughing.
04:08All the problems are erased.
04:12Even if they can't make Thirdie smile,
04:15there's no comparison to his clumsiness.
04:19A proof that despite his condition,
04:21he's happy in taking care and loving his parents.
04:26I'm Niko Wahe,
04:27and that's the story you need to know.
