Wherever you put her, she would stay there and not like almost the freedom of movement or freedom of play. It was like she didn't know.

Yeah, she would stay close to you and stay in one room. And so I would say it's been even like going to a playground, the kids would go play. She would stay close by or not interact with other kids.

by hundreds of people that she had a name, that she had an identity, and people that fought and loved her fiercely and advocated that she could go on for the rest of her life and never know that reality.
