If you were the parent of this three year old what would you really do?
The parents are battling with a rare and an extremely disturbing condition of sleeplessness that has afflicted their 3 year old baby for the last three years. Doctors have now confirmed that this three your old boy, Rhett Lamb has a condition called chiari malformation that puts pressure on his brain and takes away the urge to sleep completely.

Actually I pity the parents of this boy because, one of them has to stay at home and look after him!

I've never heared about this. This is really terrible for the parents to actually have to give the kid attention 24h without any breaks. I think they would be glad when the kid grows older and he can do those things alone.
But I still don't understand, does this mean he's neve feeling tired? He never needs new energy or something by sleeping or doing nothing?

I have never heard of such a thing about a baby who stay awake like this poor boy. It is really disturbing for both the parents and the baby boy as well. It is an extremely hard job for the parents to take turns to watch out their boy. I hope that the doctors won't give up trying to find some ways to help cure the little boy. Take care, academic.

Heeeeyyy! Nice to see you Sir William, been almost three years man! Hope the Great Wall of China is doing well! But back to this problem, I read the article around the problem and I was myself perplexed. The brain is a very delicate organ-they can make or destroy us!
