Lucy's son three-year-old Cadell has a rare form of epilepsy that causes strange laughter fits, which could one day kill him. It happens about ten times a day, at the most inappropriate times. One minute he'll be serious or relaxed the next he'll be manically laughing. Afterwards he cries or wants a cuddle and some reassurance.'
Cadell's epilepsy is caused by a benign tumour in his brain. Doctors have warned his family he will one day need an operation to remove the tumour. If the fits are allowed to carry on too severely, Cadell may one day kill himself laughing. Cadell suffers from rare gelastic epilepsy along with a benign tumour, called Hypothalamic Hamartoma, in the centre of his brain.
